- CRP, D-dimer, ferritin, and lymphocyte count tend to move in concert in severe COVID-19, and marked elevations across all four almost invariably confirm severe disease. — COVID-19: Evidence Hierarchy, ICU Management, and Emerging Treatments
- CRP can reach up to 30 mg/L in severe COVID-19, compared to a normal range of 1–2 mg/L. — COVID-19: Evidence Hierarchy, ICU Management, and Emerging Treatments
- Ferritin greater than 500 ng/mL is a clinical threshold for considering tocilizumab in severe COVID-19. — COVID-19: Evidence Hierarchy, ICU Management, and Emerging Treatments
