B SE3.3 b Experiences of COVID-19 patients' viscoelastometry testing and case reports Reger B., Schrick D., Molnar T., Tokes-Fuzesi M. Dept. of Laboratory Medicine, Dept. of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, University of Pecs, Pecs, Hungary COVID-19 is commonly associated with macro- and microvascular thrombosis and endotheliopathy. In terms of significance, we compared our results with CT scores and other laboratory parameters of patients, and the effect of certain diseases (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, hypertension) was examined on the outcome of COVID-19 disease. For patients who were not hospitalized (42% of all examined patients) the median data were: age: 60 years, paraprotein: 1.05 g/L, lambda: 8.02 mg/L, kappa: 9.7 mg/L. For hospitalized patients (the remaining 58%): median age: 66 years, paraprotein: 4.9 g/L, lambda: 18.8 mg/L, kappa: 48.85 mg/L. 42% of the latter group were administered to intensive care (paraprotein: 4.65 g/L, lambda: 16.85 mg/L, kappa: 48.85 mg/L). 16% of all patients died because of a relapse or their disease transformed to leukaemia or they were directly after transplantation.

Highlights
The increasing number of more-and-more specific laboratory tests results in their inappropriately frequent usage that can end-up in “overtreatment” of patients and enhancement of laboratory costs
Clinical information systems can provide a proper interface for physicians to handle predefined minimal retesting intervals (MRI) regulations
Routine application of MRI testing can reduce the number of required tests and diminish the costs of laboratory testing
Summary
The increasing number of more-and-more specific laboratory tests results in their inappropriately frequent usage that can end-up in “overtreatment” of patients and enhancement of laboratory costs. From an analytical point of view, the TT3 promises to be more reliable With all this in mind, we aimed to examine how the FT3 and TT3 results correlate with each other on two measurement systems. Conclusions: Our results support that, measured on both systems, the TT3 method is superior to FT3, so it is recommended to supplement the currently used algorithm with TT3 measurement. This could reduce the possibility of an inappropriate therapeutic decision. Endogenous substances, such as natural, poly-reactive antibodies, autoantibodies (heterophiles), or human anti-animal antibodies together with other unsuspected binding proteins that are unique to the individual, can interfere with the reaction
