Methodology: The research design is non-experimental, and the study is observational, retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational. Results: The sample population of the Clínica Internacional consisted of 178 patients, the majority of whom were adults (60.3%), older adults (33.1%), and young adults (6.7%), with a predominance of males (71.3%) over females (28.7%). Elevated D-dimer levels were found in 63.5% of cases, while elevated C-reactive protein levels were observed in 95.5%, being higher in males (97.6%). Conclusion: There is a direct relationship between D-dimer and C-reactive protein in COVID-19 patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the Clínica Internacional, with 60.7% of patients simultaneously presenting elevated D-dimer and C-reactive protein levels during the period of April-July 2021.
