Surgeon Talov: thrombosis is typical for the severe and moderate course of COVID-19 stated that thrombosis is the most striking and one of the most dangerous consequences of the coronavirus. They are fatal even after the acute phase of the disease, RIA Novosti reports.
The doctor said that a blood clot in the human body plays a protective role. Timely blood clotting helps to stop bleeding from wounds. In COVID-19, thrombus formation mechanisms are triggered inadvertently, without damaging the vascular wall.
“Inflammatory processes are also to blame, which cause a whole cascade of adverse reactions, and dehydration of the patient, and even a decrease in ordinary activity,” the phlebologist emphasized .
Thrombosis is more typical for severe and moderate variants of the course of the coronavirus. “But at the same time, the risk of thrombus formation persists even after suffering a new coronavirus infection, for some time,” the surgeon explained.
