Demystifying Microclotting in Long Covid: Treatment, Recovery Rates, and Safety

TLDRLearn about the treatment, recovery rates, and safety of long Covid patients who experience microclotting. Short-term patients have high chances of full recovery, while long-term patients may require treatment for several months. The treatment involves blood thinning medication to control clotting. While there may be some risks and side effects, patients have reported significant improvements.

Key insights

💉Treatment for short-term long Covid patients may last for four to eight weeks, with high chances of full recovery.

⏳Long-term long Covid patients may require treatment for at least four to six months, with some symptoms possibly not fully recoverable.

🔬Breakdown of microclots during treatment may cause temporary worsening of symptoms as antigens are released, indicating recovery initiation.

💊Triple therapy, including antiplatelet medication and anticoagulants, is used to control clotting and restore normal clotting physiology.

🔍Tests for evaluating blood clotting dysfunction in long Covid patients include brachial artery flow-mediated dilation, thromboelastography, and platelet function assay.
