COVID-19 is a complex infection like the lungs or heart and can cause damage to the blood flowing through the blood vessels. Blood clots that can interfere with blood flow can cause mild or even threatening symptoms.
Simply put, if a blood clot blocks the flow of blood flowing through an artery or vein, it causes tissue damage and a lack of oxygen, which can cause cells in that tissue to die. Although some blood clots are considered normal, what’s scary about the case of Covid-19 is the clotting that is not normal.
Because the virus also activates cytokines and inflammatory responses in the body. Patients with Covid-19 can experience an increased incidence of clots in the body, which can be devastating. The following are signs that Covid-19 has entered the blood, as reported by the Times of India, Wednesday (24/2).
1. Severe blood clots
Doctors are now seeing an unusually high rate of blood clotting problems in hospitalized Covid-19 patients, old or young. Blood clotting problems can not only be widespread, but also carry the greatest risk for people who have pre-existing problems that can affect healthy blood flow, including diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease.
2. Thrombosis
Another increasingly visible side effect of Covid-19 infection in the body is deep vein thrombosis. This condition can also act as an unusual, but early sign of infection. Deep vein thrombosis can occur when the virus invades the veins and lining of the legs in the legs, causing blood clots.
