Hypercoagulability with elevation in D-dimer levels has been demonstrated in patients with COVID-19. Patients of COVID-19 with diabetes had more severe disease levels, and this study showed that individuals with existing diabetes had higher D-dimer levels in COVID-19. It is concluded that D-dimer levels can be a valuable biomarker of severity of COVID-19 in patients of diabetes.
