A recent research paper linked “long COVID,” a set of COVID-19-related symptoms that can last weeks or months, to “abnormalities” in multiple organs, including the lungs and kidneys.
The new study, published in The Lancet over the weekend, found there were higher rates of lung, brain, and kidney injuries among those with the condition, compared with the non-COVID-19 control group. Lung injuries, in particular, were about 14 times higher among long COVID patients, and abnormal findings among the kidneys and brain were about two and three times higher, respectively.
