As the number of COVID-19 patients is quickly rising, and certain nations and areas, such as the third world countries, lack the medical resources, it is critical to track and monitor a patient\u2019s status using blood parameters on regular testing. The aim of this study is to compare the serum D-dimer levels, Ferritin, CRP, WBCs, Lymphocytes, and Neutrophils in male and female patients infected with COVID-19. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: The study procedure includes evaluating the D-dimer level, Ferritin, CRP, WBCs, lymphocytes, and neutrophils in 116 patients infected with COVID-19 (48 Females and 68 Males). RESULT: The result of this study shows a significant increase in the D-dimer level in males 1618 \u00b1 247.7 ng\/ml compared to females 684.5 \u00b1 53.69 ng\/ml and a significant increase in Ferritin level in males 525.6 \u00b1 69.55 \u03bcg\/L compared to females 254.1 \u00b1 33.73 \u03bcg\/L. However, no other significant change is seen in the other parameters (CRP, LDH, and WBCs, L, and N) although all of these parameters are abnormal, compared to the normal reference values. CONCLUSION: This study concludes that there is a significant increase in the D-dimer and Ferritin concentrations in male patients compared to female patients, who were infected with COVID-19. Also there are no significant differences in other parameters (CRP, LDH, WBCs, L, and N) between male and female patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/hab-220006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,29]],"date-time":"2022-06-29T04:58:32Z","timestamp":1656478712000},"page":"151-155","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Comparison of some hematological parameters between male and female patients infected with COVID-19"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Hayder H.","family":"Abed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry and Biochemistry Division, Faculty of Medicine, Al Muthanna University, Samawah, Iraq"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed Ghdhban","family":"Al-Ziaydi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Chemistry, College of Medicine, University of Al-Qadisiyah, Qadisiyah, Iraq"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ihab Abbas","family":"Taher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry and Biochemistry Division, Faculty of Medicine, Al Muthanna University, Samawah, Iraq"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed K.","family":"Al Dulaimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Division, Al-Shafaa Hospital, Anbar Health Directorate, Ramadi, Iraq"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/HAB-220006_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"199","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bsheal.2020.11.003","article-title":"Cold-chain transportation in the frozen food industry may have caused a recurrence of COVID-19 cases in destination: Successful isolation of SARS-CoV-2 virus from the imported frozen cod package surface","volume":"2","author":"Liu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Biosafety and Health"},{"key":"10.3233\/HAB-220006_ref3","first-page":"157","article-title":"WHO declares COVID-19 a pandemic","volume":"91","author":"Cucinotta","year":"2020","journal-title":"Acta Bio Medica: Atenei Parmensis"},{"key":"10.3233\/HAB-220006_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1038\/s41746-021-00433-4","article-title":"Development of a multivariable prediction model for severe COVID-19 disease: A population-based study from Hong Kong","volume":"4","author":"Zhou","year":"2021","journal-title":"NPJ Digit Med"},{"key":"10.3233\/HAB-220006_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"257","DOI":"10.1097\/RLI.0000000000000670","article-title":"Chest CT findings in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 and its relationship with clinical features","volume":"55","author":"Wu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Invest Radiol"},{"key":"10.3233\/HAB-220006_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1064","DOI":"10.1111\/jth.15267","article-title":"Prolonged elevation of D-dimer levels in convalescent COVID-19 patients is independent of the acute phase response","volume":"19","author":"Townsend","year":"2021","journal-title":"Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis"},{"key":"10.3233\/HAB-220006_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"D.B.
