Abstract: Introduction:In December 2019, in the city of Wuhan, Hubei province, Covid 19 appeared and spread rapidly around the world.This syndrome is associated with failure and damage to several organs; or even a disruption of cellular metabolism. Materials and Methods:This is a prospective, descriptive and analytical study of patients infected with SARS-Cov2.For each patient, the determination of certain biochemical parameters (albumin, creatinine, urea, sodium, potassium) was carried out with the ARCHITECT plus Ci4100 PLC. Results:Our study population consisted of 153 subjects with covid-19 with a mean age of 55 ± 19 years.Male sex represented 53.8% of the study population, with a sex ratio of 1.15.We noted that 45.1% of patients had a severe form of the disease and 50.3% had a comorbidity.The disturbances noted are hypoalbuminemia, hypercreatininemia, hyperuremia, hyponatremia and hyperkalemia. Conclusion:The incidence of death was significantly high in patients with disruption of biochemical parameters.
