3.3 Changes in laboratory test data
To further investigate the infection characteristics of the two populations after novel coronavirus infection, we compared the changes in validation-related indicators at admission, 7 days after admission and at discharge in the two populations of moderately, severely and critically ill patients. The results showed that there were no significant differences in C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels between the two groups at different time points, whereas procalcitonin (PCT) levels were different between the two groups at admission, 7 days after admission and at discharge, and were significantly higher in renal transplant patients than in the general population, with statistically significant differences(P <0. 001,P <0.001,P <0.001)). Absolute lymphocyte counts also differed between the two groups, with the kidney transplant population having lower absolute lymphocyte counts on admission and 7 days after admission than the general population, with statistically significant differences(P <0.001, P <0.001). Lymphocyte counts were also lower in the kidney transplant population than in the general population, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).
The changes in T-lymphocyte count and absolute lymphocyte values at admission, 7 days after admission, and at discharge are shown in Figure 3.
The changes in CRP, IL6 and PCT levels at admission, 7 days after admission, and at discharge are shown in Figure 4.
