Coronavirus it does not just attack the heart and lungs. A study proves this to which the National Institute for Infectious Diseases “Lazzaro Spallanzani” in Rome collaborated. The research that was among other things published in “The Journal of Infectious Diseases”, revealed through the autopsy of 22 dead bodies from the Coronavirus, significant changes in the liver, kidneys, bone marrow and spleen. Not only. The cadavers analyzed, whose average was 76 years, for the most part presented important pathologies such as diabetes, respiratory or heart diseases. Furthermore, on all the corpses analyzed, heart and lungs were enlarged. Otherwise the spleen had undergone a reduction in volume on all the patients examined. Finally, kidney and liver lesions were found in 30% of patients. Furthermore, it is not yet clear whether these lesions are a direct consequence of the action of the virus or if instead they were caused by an abnormal response of the immune system. “Data-reactid =” 23 “> Il Coronavirus it does not just attack the heart and lungs.

Covid: acts on the liver, kidneys and marrow
Coronavirus, in addition to the heart and lungs, also affects bone marrow, kidneys, spleen and liver. The research was performed by analyzing the outcome of the autopsy of 22 dead bodies from the Coronavirus. If on the one hand it emerged that the cause of death is attributable to cardio-respiratory insufficiency, it is also true that the autopsy revealed significant alterations to organs such as kidneys, spleen and bone marrow and liver. As for the liver and kidneys, in 30% of patients, lesions were highlighted especially in cases where pathologies were found. “Data-reactid =” 30 “> A study pubblicato dal “Journal of Infectious Diseases” to which a research team from the Spallanzani hospital in Rome collaborated, showed that Coronavirus, in addition to the heart and lungs, also affects bone marrow, kidneys, spleen and liver.

Coronavirus. “Data-reactid =” 33 “> As for the lungs, an increase in volume has been highlighted. one was highlighted upregulation of the CXCR3 cytokine receptor. This is a fundamental discovery as this receptor could become a reference point for future therapies. As well as the lungs, the autopsy revealed an increase in the weight and volume of the heart. Finally, any research will be needed to understand if the liver and kidney injuries are due to a direct action of the Coronavirus.
