Background. Despite the fact that COVID-19 usually manifests with severe pneumonia, there is a growing body of evidence that life-threatening multiorgan damage is caused by vascular and hemostatic abnormalities. Since there is no established therapy, assessing antithrombotics is indeed important. Sulodexide, a compound derived from porcine intestinal mucosa is a mixture of fast-moving heparin fraction (80%) and dermatan sulfate (20%), is approved in Europe and currently in trials for COVID-19 indication. Methods. This single-center, prospective, observational study included 28 patients with mild COVID-19 hospitalized in the Central Clinical Hospital of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation. Patients in the control group (n = 14) were treated using routine therapy according to current guidelines, while patients in the experimental group (n = 14) had the routine treatment supplemented with daily intravenous injections of sulodexide in 600-unit doses. Scanning electron microscopy was utilized to examine the blood specimens derived from the cubital vein at admission and at 10 days after hospitalization, which was approximately the average duration of patients’ treatment in the hospital (11.6 ± 0.4 days). Results. Sulodexide significantly (by 40%) diminished the score of circulating endothelial cells, potentially indicating its antiviral endothelium-protective properties. It also prevented the extra activation of the platelets and the formation of erythrocytic sludges. Among patients in the control group, the share of activated platelets rose from 37 ± 5% to 45 ± 6% (p = 0.04) over the course of the study period, whereas among patients in the experimental group, the share of activated platelets remained practically unchanged (43 ± 6% vs. 38 ± 4%, p = 0.22). The score of erythrocytic sludges in the control group remained practically the same (4.8 ± 1.1 at admission vs. 3.9 ± 0.9 after 10 days, p = 0.67), whereas in the experimental group, it significantly decreased (from 5.7 ± 1.7 to 2.4 ± 0.9, p = 0.03). Conclusions. Sulodexide is able to defend endothelium, normalize blood, and, seemingly, prevent thrombosis. Therefore, it may be considered as a promising and effective agent for the treatment of patients with mild COVID-19. Broader randomized trials are needed to assess whether the observed findings will transform into sustained long-term clinical benefit.
