METHOD FOR ASSESSING UNFAVORABLE OUTCOME OF SEVERE PNEUMONIA ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19 BY s-CysC LEVEL Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G01N33/68 G01N33/49 G01N33/53 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to therapy and anesthesiology-resuscitation, and can be used to assess the adverse outcome of severe pneumonia associated with COVID-19, according to the s-CysC level. The concentration of sCysC in venous blood samples taken during the first 24 hours of admission to the intensive care unit is determined by immunoturbidimetric method. If s-CysC concentrations in patients exceed 1.44 mg/l, then an unfavorable outcome of severe pneumonia associated with COVID-19 is predicted.

EFFECT: method provides an opportunity to assess the risk of an unfavorable outcome of severe pneumonia associated with COVID-19 by determining the level of s-CysC in the blood, which is an objective marker that allows timely prediction of the need for active therapeutic measures in the intensive care unit.
