Background: COVID 19 causes growing numbers of severe diseases with systemic abnormalities like organ dysfunction, thrombosis, and mortality. Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation or DIC is associated with the development of systemic fibrin, which may cause due to increased thrombin expression, concomitant physiological anticoagulant suppression and dysfunctional fibrinolysis. Methods: This study was a retrospective study that was conducted at the department of Clinical Pathology. The study was carried out during the period of September 2021-February, 2022. The total sample size for this study was 50. Result: Most of the respondents 12(24%) were aged from 50-59 years. Most of the respondents 35(70%) were female and 15(30%) were male. D-Dimer findings of most of the patients (44%) were severe. PCT test findings were normal for 34% of the participants, mild for 6%, moderate for 26%, and the remaining 40% had severe PCT levels. Among the 50 cases, both PCT and D-Dimer values were in the normal range for 26% of the participants, while 62% of the participants had raised values (mild, moderate, or severe) in both PCT and D-Dimer tests. Conclusion: From this study, it can be said that levels of D-dimer and PCT are directly linked to the disease severity among the patients with COVID 19.
