Association of Low Molecular Weight Plasma Aminothiols with the Severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019

Objective. Aminothiols (glutathione (GSH), cysteinylglycine (CG)) may play an important role in the pathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the possible association of these indicators with the severity of COVID-19 has not yet been investigated. Methods. The total content (t) and re...

Zusammenfassung:Objective. Aminothiols (glutathione (GSH), cysteinylglycine (CG)) may play an important role in the pathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the possible association of these indicators with the severity of COVID-19 has not yet been investigated. Methods. The total content (t) and reduced forms (r) of aminothiols were determined in patients with COVID-19 (n=59) on admission. Lung injury was characterized by computed tomography (CT) findings in accordance with the CT0-4 classification. Results. Low tGSH level was associated with the risk of severe COVID-19 (tGSH≤1.5 μM, mild vs. moderate/severe: risk ratio RR=3.09, p=0.007) and degree of lung damage (tGSH≤1.8 μM, CT
