This study aimed to investigate the relationship between blood types and COVID-19 susceptibility and explore changes in blood variables, as well as their relationship with the occurrence of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 is a pandemic that has affected people's health and the global financial system. Since the initial confirmed case of COVID-19, people have been influenced worldwide with varying manifestations. Moreover, researchers have illustrated a link between ABO blood types and COVID-19 susceptibility and incidence. Research has also shown that ABO blood groups might play a role in estimating COVID-19 susceptibility and death. Our analysis revealed that blood type O might probably reduce vulnerability to the SARS-CoV-2 illness. On the contrary, people with blood type A are at a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study also evaluated liver biomarkers among COVID-19 patients, revealing significant abnormalities in the levels of alanine amino transferees, aspartate amino transferees, gamma-glutamyl transferees, and total bilirubin.
本研究旨在探讨血型与 COVID-19 易感性的关系，并探索血液变量的变化及其与 COVID-19 发生的关系。SARS-CoV-2 是一种大流行病毒，它影响了人们的健康和全球金融体系。自 COVID-19 首例确诊病例以来，全球范围内的人们都受到了不同程度的影响。此外，研究人员已经表明 ABO 血型与 COVID-19 易感性和发病率之间存在关联。研究还表明，ABO 血型可能在估计 COVID-19 易感性和死亡率方面发挥作用。我们的分析表明，O 型血可能降低对 SARS-CoV-2 疾病的易感性。相反，A型血的人感染 SARS-CoV-2 的风险更高。本研究还评估了 COVID-19 患者的肝脏生物标志物，结果显示丙氨酸氨基转移酶、天冬氨酸氨基转移酶、γ-谷氨酰转移酶和总胆红素水平存在显著异常。
