Study aim
-
Determining the effectiveness of IVIG therapy on hematologic laboratory parameters (WBC, lymphocyte count), renal (Cr, Urea) and liver (AST, ALT) in patients with COVID-19 before and after IVIg treatment
-
Design
-
In this study, we first reviewed the records of patients admitted with COVID-19 and selected 98 cases that were treated with IVIG with 98 patients who were admitted for the same reason and with almost the same age and sex conditions without receiving IVIG. be. Then, the information and results of laboratory parameters will be extracted from the laboratory system and patients' clinical and demographic information in coordination with medical records from their files.

Settings and conduct
-
In this study, in order to recognize the effect of IVIg, the results of various parameters such as WBC count, Lymphocyte count, platelets, sodium, potassium, urea, creatinine, AST, ALT, interleukin 6, CRP, ESR, LDH, d-Dimer before and after treatment With IVIg, it is extracted from the HIS system of Milad and Al-Zahra hospitals in Isfahan and their changes are compared
