Four months after the first infection, people with the Covid-19 with persistent symptoms they can present damage to various internal organs. It is a consequence of the disease that not only affects those at risk, but also young people who in the past have always enjoyed good health conditions. To indicate it, as reported by the Guardian, are the results of one studio conducted in the UK on the basis of data collected from about 500 “low risk” patients (by age and health status).

In the UK, over 60,000 patients suffer from “Long Covid”Or“ Post Covid ”syndrome, a condition associated with symptoms such as fatigue, mental fog, shortness of breath and pain, which persist over time. The results of the new study could open the door to the development of new treatments for people living with these “after-effects” of the disease. Using tests such as blood tests, MRIs and online questionnaires, the experts also assessed the impact of Covid-19 on internal organs. Preliminary data, obtained from 200 patients who underwent screening, indicate that nearly 70% have impairments in one or more organs, including the heart, lungs, liver and pancreas, four months after surgery. Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus infection.

“Although mild, the impairments affect two or more organs in 25% of patients,” explains Amitava Banerjee, a lecturer at University College London. In some cases, experts have found a correlation between patients’ symptoms and the organs affected by an impairment. For example, damage to the heart and lungs was sometimes associated with dyspnea, while damage to the liver or pancreas was associated with gastrointestinal disturbances. Banerjee points out that the study does not definitively prove that the symptoms of patients with “Long Covid” are always and in any case linked to impairments of internal organs. Furthermore, the results obtained have not yet been peer reviewed. Another fact to keep in mind is that none of the patients had been examined before developing Covid-19, so in some of them organ damage may not be a cause of the disease. However, it seems an unlikely scenario, considering that in the past the patients, whose average age is 44, enjoyed good health conditions. In addition to monitoring test participants, the researchers are also studying the conditions of those who have never developed Covid-19 or have had other viral infections (such asinfluenza), to compare the results obtained.

It is not the first time that the “Post Covid” syndrome has been associated with possible damage to internal organs. The preliminary results of another studio, conducted on 58 patients with Covid-19 hospitalized, showed abnormalities in the lungs (60%), kidneys (29%), heart (26%) and liver (10%), two or three months later the initial infection.
