COVID-19-associated Coagulopathy : Role of Vitamins D and K

Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epubbenthamscience.net..

Recent reports show coagulopathy as a potential complication and poorer outcome of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), especially in those with comorbid conditions such as diabetes and hypertension as thrombosis could result in stroke and heart attacks. Indeed, cardiovascular complications in COVID-19 account for 40% of mortality. Although there is no standard treatment protocol or guidelines for COVID-19, it is a common practice to use anti-inflammatory corticosteroids and anti-coagulants, especially for severe COVID-19 patients. It has also been confirmed that deficiencies of vitamin D and/or vitamin K can exacerbate premorbid cardiovascular and diabetes conditions associated with COVID-19, at least partially due to a higher incidence of coagulopathy. Here, we discuss the roles of vitamins D and K in general and in COVID-19-related coagulopathy. Moreover, the suggestion for proper supplementations of these vitamins in countering COVID-19 is provided.
