Immunologist Bolibok: Russians will face “ground glass” syndrome in the lungs due to COVID 
Allergist-immunologist Vladimir Bolibok in conversation with URA.RU warned that the Russians may face another consequence of the coronavirus – the “ground glass” syndrome in the lungs due to massive capillary thrombosis when infected with COVID-19.
According to him, the inflammation in the lungs comes from – for thrombosis of small capillaries. So, with excessive thrombus formation in COVID-19, disseminated intravascular coagulation occurs when blood clots appear directly in the blood stream. “Then small blood clots enter the capillaries, clogging them up, and a frosted glass syndrome occurs,” said Bolibok.
The doctor emphasized that coronavirus usually affects the inner lining of blood vessels. At the same time, the coronavirus causes damage to the inner lining of the vessels, a very delicate layer of cells – the intima, on which blood clots are disrupted at the slightest damage. “Platelets are also damaged, as a result of which blood coagulability rises sharply and such a function as fibrinolysis begins to suffer, that is, the body's ability to dissolve the formed blood clots,” the specialist explained.
As explained by the cardiovascular surgeon, general practitioner practice Vladimir Horoshev, due to a violation of blood clotting, there is a failure in oxygen saturation of the lungs. He added that small blood clots with COVID-19 can form in different parts of the body.
Earlier, doctor of medical sciences, professor, cardiologist, head of the temporary COVID hospital, Zaurbek Shugushev said that after suffering a coronavirus, a person may face maladjustment of pressure – “dumb killer”. He stressed that high blood pressure leads to dysfunction of the vascular wall.
