#LongCOVID: Zwei #Biomarker erklären Langzeitfolgen auf das #Gehirn (in Relation zum CRP-Wert)

#Fibrinogen: Ein Anstieg war mit objektiven und subjektiven kognitiven Störungen verbunden. Evtl. durch Mikrothromben und Entzündungen im Gehirn.

#DDimere: Ein Anstieg war nur mit subjektiven kognitiven Störungen verbunden. Evtl. durch beeinträchtigte Sauerstoffaufnahme durch Mikrothromben, assoziiert mit #Fatigue, v.a. bei längerer geistiger Anstrengung, wie am Arbeitsplatz.

a large study of people hospitalized with #COVID19 early in the pandemic has identified two proteins involved in 🩸 clotting, #fibrinogen and #Ddimer, that are associated with cognitive deficits up to 1 year postinfection.

Acute blood biomarker profiles predict cognitive deficits 6 & 12 months after #COVID19 hospitalization

Prospective & separate retrospective studies

Revealed 2 distinct dimensions linking acute blood biomarkers & post-acute #cognitive deficits.” “findings regarding the first dimension of covariation might reflect a combination of hypercoagulable state & the direct effects of #fibrinogen on the brain”

Did you know that #hypothermia canadversely affect blood clotting? This is why it is very important to keep acute #trauma patients warm.
