RESUMO
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has outbroken globally. As an acute infectious disease, COVID-19 has significant impacts on multiple organs and systems throughout the body. Among patients with COVID-19, especially severe and critical cases, a variety of potential risk factors for coagulation dysfunction exist. Furthermore, the coagulation dysfunction of COVID-19 patients was mainly characterized by elevated D-dimer levels. The coagulation dysfunction could directly affect the prognosis of COVID-19 patients and is a major cause of death in patients with severe COVID-19. In this article, the literatures on the basic clinical manifestations, clinical risk factor, mechanism of coagulation dysfunction and evaluation of coagulation function in COVID-19 were reviewed.
