PROPOSAL FOR THE CREATION OF CLINICAL-LABORATORY CONSTELLATIONS FOR COVID-19
Keywords:
constellations, laboratory indicators, COVID-19Abstract
The word "constellation" comes from the Latin words "cum" and "stella". It first meaning is associated
with the disposition of celestial bodies and their interdependence arising from the rules of the solar system. In the
clinical laboratory "constellations" is a recommended package of clinical and laboratory tests: general, advanced and
specialized, related to a particular disease, supporting the diagnosis and differential diagnosis - laboratory diagnostic
differentiation.
In the face of an unprecedented pandemic of COVID-19 lasting more than two years with a tendency to continue
with dynamically changing viral variants of the causative agent SARS-COV-2, and summarizing the accumulated
world experience, the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) published a recommended list with
biochemical tests, outside the etiological diagnosis of the virus, that could monitor the condition of patients with
such an infection. This list was confirmed by the Bulgarian Society of Clinical Laboratory, as the main purpose of
these studies is information about the patient's health, possible damage to many organs of the human body that can
be caused by the disease and how to detect and track.
