ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to evaluate potential pancreas endocrine damage due to SARS-CoV-2 by measuring β-cell autoantibodies in COVID-19 patients. Subjects and methods: Between June and July 2020, 95 inpatients with a positive COVID-19 test result after polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) and who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in our study. Laboratory parameters that belong to glucose metabolism and β-cell autoantibodies, including anti-islet, anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase, and anti-insulin autoantibodies, were measured. β-cell autoantibodies levels of the patients were measured during […]
