ABSTRACT
The SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to infect millions of individuals around the
world. Although the most frequent symptoms observed in patients with COVID-19
are fever, fatigue and cough, in severe cases hypercoagulability and inflammation
are two conditions that can cause complications and organ failure, putting the patient's
life at risk. In order to classify patients during triage, different hematological
markers have been explored, including platelet, lymphocyte, and eosinophil counts,
and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, among others. Furthermore, for the evaluation
of coagulopathies, markers such as D-dimer and fibrinogen are being evaluated.
This review addresses the coagulopathies and hematological parameters in pa-
tients with COVID-19, as well as coagulation abnormalities such as immune thrombotic
thrombocytopenia induced by SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
