Higher blood clotting markers and platelet activity linked to long-term COVID-19 symptoms
Updated
Abstract
Essence
People who developed long COVID showed early and persistent blood signatures of immunothrombosis, platelet activation, and vascular dysfunction after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Evidence
A longitudinal multi-omics study of 75 COVID-19 patients combined multiplex plasma assays, LC-MS proteomics, and whole-blood flow cytometry to compare those with and without .
Caveat
This was a small association study, so the candidate biomarkers are not yet validated as predictive tests for PASC.
