COVID-19 a complex multi-organ disease requires comprehensive diagnostic solutions
HUMAN supports laboratories with comprehensive solutions for the diagnosis of a wide range of aspects of COVID-19. For triage of SARS-CoV-2 patients, parameters of hematology and clinical chemistry are recommended. Coagulation parameters provide information on the prognosis of the patients.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, laboratories have been using nucleic acid amplification tests, such as RT-PCR. In many countries, access to this form of testing is still challenging. Therefore, rapid antigen tests are important as they are close to the patient and relatively easy to use. HUMAN has found reliable partners and manufacturers of SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid tests and is now ready to provide you with these tests.

Genetic characteristics influence susceptibility to COVID-19 Blood group A a risk factor for COVID-19?
The rapid global spread of the noval SARS-CoV-2 virus is straining existing health resources, so identifying infected persons and prioritising people at high risk has become a critical challenge.
Publication about COVID-19 Kidney disease
An early warning for severity and complications
Several publications indicate that the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 does not only affect the lungs but also impacts numerous other organs, like kidneys which have been observed to be the second most frequently affected organs.
Main laboratory abnormalities associated with COVID-19
Although RT-PCR is the recommended testing for diagnosis of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, there are numerous other diagnostic parameters that show abnormal laboratory results in COVID-19 patients.
Enhancing the expeditious triage of COVID-19 patients through the utilization of hematology and CRP
In many countries, health organizations fear that they will find themselves in a situation where too many patients seek help in clinics, similar to the COVID 19 outbreak in Wuhan/China.
ISTH interim guidance on recognition and management of coagulopathy in COVID-19
According to recent observations, coagulopathy often occurs in severe cases of COVID-19 patients. Coagulopathy is a condition in which the ability of the blood to clot is impaired - a term that includes the thrombotic state in sepsis.

Autoantibodies in COVID and Long-COVID - more cases of thrombosis and autoimmune disease on the horizon?
Since 2020 the corona virus keeps changing the world. But not only the mutations of the virus and the disease itself, but also lasting complications, such as long COVID are a topic of concern. As recent studies show, raised levels of autoantibodies, that are associated to COVID-19 can lead to the development of various autoimmune reactions and diseases. In this webinar we will have a spotlight on autoantibodies that specifically trigger platelet activation.
