These findings confirmed an increased disease severity in COVID-19 patients with hypertension or diabetes (Liu et al. SARS-CoV-2 infections lead to a fast activation of innate immune cells, especially in COVID-19 patients developing severe disease . These results suggest different mechanisms exist for hypertension or diabetes as risk factors for severe cases of COVID-19. Despite these limitations, we were able to identify different laboratory abnormalities on admission in COVID-19 patients with hypertension or diabetes, which might shed light on future mechanistic studies. Are patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus at increased risk for covid-19 infection?
