Metabolic and Endocrine Complications of Long-COVID-19: A Review
Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes DOI: 10.1055/a-2063-8697Over the past two years, the outbreak of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19)
caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has
centralized the interest of the health care systems and the scientific world.
The majority of COVID-19-infected individuals recover fully. However, about
12–50% of patients experience various mid- and long-term effects
after recovering from the initial illness. These mid- and long-term effects are
collectively known as post-COVID-19 condition or 'long-COVID'.
In the coming months, the long-term consequences of COVID-19 on the metabolic
and endocrine systems may expect to rise and pose a global healthcare challenge.
This review article discusses the possible metabolic and endocrine complications
of long-COVID and the relevant research findings. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart, GermanyArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text
