Study: Longer-term organ abnormalities seen in some post-hospital Covid patients

The findings were published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine (Peter Byrne/PA)

A UK study looking at the longer-term impact of Covid-19 has found that nearly a third of patients who were admitted to hospital with the virus had abnormalities in multiple organs five months after infection.

MRI scans of patients in the study showed more abnormal findings involving the lungs, brain and kidneys compared to a group of people who had not had the virus.
