Our study revealed that demography, clinical features, radiographic findings, complications like renal insufficiency, and inflammatory markers like IL-6 play a considerable role in hyponatremic COVID-19 patients. Hyponatremia patients required significantly higher rates of ICU admissions and oxygen support. Our results suggest that monitoring inflammatory markers such as ESR, CRP, total white blood cell (WBC) count, ferritin, LDH, and IL-6 may serve as an early warning system for progression to severe COVID-19.
