The patient's age, how severely ill they were with Covid, as well as if they had other illnesses at the same time, are all factors
A new study has found people living with long Covid are more likely to have damage caused to major organs. It has been found by research published in Lancet Respiratory Medicine that patients admitted to hospital after coronavirus infection were more likely to develop abnormalities in their brain, kidneys and lungs.
The University of Oxford's Dr Betty Raman explained that the age and illness severity of patients all played a role in the extent of damage to their organs. She said: "Five months after being discharged from hospital for Covid, we found more abnormalities in the lungs, brain, and kidneys in those patients than in the group who had never had Covid.
"The patient's age, how severely ill they were with Covid, as well as if they had other illnesses at the same time, were all significant factors in whether or not we found damage to these important organs in the body." Long Covid is still a fairly new condition, and scientists are continuing to investigate its effects, reports The Daily Mirror.At this moment in time, it is still not entirely clear why some people develop lasting symptoms of coronavirus, and others don't.
According to the NHS, these include persistent fatigue, difficulty breathing, loss of smell, and muscle aches. However, there are many different symptoms that might stick around after becoming infected with Covid, such as a fever, brain fog, and sore throat.If you've had any symptoms of Covid lasting for longer than four weeks, you should consider speaking to a doctor. The GP will ask you about your symptoms and will try to rule out any other cause, before referring you to hospital.
