- - COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has globally impacted over 30 million people and is linked to increased risks of blood clotting issues, but the exact reasons for this heightened risk are still unclear.
- - Researchers studied platelet activity and blood parameters in patients with both severe and nonsevere COVID-19, comparing them to healthy individuals and non-COVID hospital patients, to determine how these factors relate to disease severity.
- - Findings showed that patients with severe COVID-19 exhibited significant differences in blood counts, and that they had hyperactive platelets, indicating that these factors may contribute to increased clotting risks and influence recovery efforts from the disease.
