Research shows patients with long Covid have higher measures of blood clotting

Previous work by the same group studied the dangerous clotting observed in patients with severe acute Covid-19.

New evidence shows that patients with long Covid continue to have higher measures of blood clotting, which may explain persistent symptoms, including reduced physical fitness and fatigue.

The study, led by researchers from RCSI (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland) University of Medicine and Health Sciences, is published in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis.
