Proteomics validate circulating GDF-15 as an independent biomarker for COVID-19 severity

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionGrowth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) was originally described as a stress-induced cytokine, and a biomarker of aging and cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that circulating GDF-15 would be associated with COVID-19 disease severity.
