Abstract
Summary. Background. Coagulopathies are known for infections with SARS and MERS coronaviruses. Objectives: the reviewing the early accumulated information on coagulopathy in COVID-19. Patients/Methods. In PubMed Library with the keywords «COVID-19», «coagulopathy» we selected 15 publications containing the results of original studies. Results. In severe cases of the disease, a cytokine storm is observed, higher levels of D-dimer and fibrin degradation products (FDP), longer prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time. Data about incidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation are contradictory. Conclusions. Patients with COVID-19 with acute respiratory failure exhibit severe hypercoagulation. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparins or fondaparinux is recommended for all hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Donor plasma for passive immunotherapy should be transfused only as part of clinical trials.
