COVID-19 patients’ urine samples can help predict the disease's severity, according to researchers. Scientists hope the results of the study will translate to a regular screening process for Covid-19 patients.

Coronaviruses infect animals, humans, and birds. Human coronaviruses, such as SARS, MERS, and 2019-nCoV cause respiratory distress and even death. The S protein is the infectious agent of the virus.

‘Scientists hope the results of the study will translate to a regular screening process for Covid-19 patients to predict who is more likely to develop severe disease and to aid in a successful treatment strategy.’
In addition, levels of these inflammatory markers were higher in patients with comorbidities such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Researchers said they undertook this study in hopes of determining whether biomarkers of Covid-19 could predict which individuals will develop "overly exuberant immune responses," also called a cytokine storm.
They chose to screen the urine of Covid-19 patients because of its non-invasive nature that doesn't require the use of needles or blood samples.

Could Blood Pressure Drugs Raise The risk of COVID-19?
Tissue-specific look at how blood pressure medications affect SARS-CoV-2 receptors could help identify whether blood pressure and heart patients are at increased risk of contracting COVID-19.
