The Glycocalyx in COVID-19 Patients. A Pilot Study (Glycovid-19)
Status
Conditions
Details and patient eligibility
About
The damage of the endothelial glycocalyx is based on microvascular endothelial dysfunction and typical for critical clinical conditions like sepsis, trauma, bleeding, shock, as well as ARDS. We aim to generate first hints regarding the impact of covid-19 disease on the (damage) of the endothelial glycocalyx. Furthermore, we want to investigate the potential coagulopathies, which go along with shedding of the glycocalyx. The detection of and the relation between the severity of the disease, as well as the extent of the glycocalyx damage during the observational period, as well as the hemostatic alterations, are aim of the study.
