MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:

Now the rising hyperlink between COVID-19 and life-threatening blood clots. As NPR’s Jon Hamilton studies, the illness seems to thicken the blood, which may result in clots that have an effect on the lungs and kidney and to strokes that harm the mind.

JON HAMILTON, BYLINE: When the coronavirus arrived in New York, hospital emergency rooms started to see some uncommon stroke sufferers. Dr. J. Mocco directs the Cerebrovascular Heart at Mount Sinai.

J MOCCO: We had a younger lady in her early 30s who got here in with a profound stroke, the sort of stroke that leaves somebody completely paralyzed and probably unable to outlive.

HAMILTON: A stroke attributable to a clot. The younger lady had not one of the typical threat components for stroke, however she examined constructive for the virus that causes COVID-19, so Mocco and different docs started to check notes.

MOCCO: Talking with the ICU docs and the pulmonary docs, they have been seeing clots within the lungs. Talking with the renal docs and the dialysis docs, they have been seeing clots within the renal arteries inflicting kidney damage.

HAMILTON: Mocco and a gaggle of docs thought it was time to sound the alarm, so that they described 5 stroke sufferers in a letter that seems immediately in The New England Journal of Drugs.

MOCCO: These have been 5 sufferers of their 30s and 40s who didn’t have the standard risk-factor profile however did have the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

HAMILTON: The letter helps one thing different docs have noticed because the pandemic started in China. COVID-19 appears to provide blood clots – numerous them. Dr. Craig Coopersmith is the interim director of the Vital Care Heart at Emory College in Atlanta.

CRAIG COOPERSMITH: Sufferers who’re within the intensive care unit for different illnesses are susceptible to having clots however nothing like the degrees that we’re seeing in COVID-19.

HAMILTON: Coopersmith says he hasn’t seen the form of stroke sufferers reported in New York – younger individuals with out threat components. However he says clotting issues are affecting a major minority of sufferers within the ICU. And that features individuals on dialysis, which he finds stunning.

COOPERSMITH: Sufferers on dialysis within the intensive care unit with COVID – sufferers on which are on blood thinners, and the dialysis machines virtually by no means clot. And we have been discovering that the machines have been clotting two or three or 4 instances a day.

HAMILTON: Blood thinners do scale back clotting, and different medication can typically dissolve a clot earlier than it causes main harm. However Coopersmith says all of those medication may cause bleeding, so sufferers must be watched intently.

COOPERSMITH: We now have actually 5 totally different groups within the hospital particularly and solely blood clotting simply due to this simply in COVID.

HAMILTON: It is nonetheless not clear exactly how COVID-19 is inflicting blood clots. It may very well be from the an infection itself or the immune system’s response to the virus. However Dr. Tiffany Osborn of Washington College in St. Louis says docs are starting to determine what’s occurring.

TIFFANY OSBORN: What we’re seeing that contributes to our understanding of which are lab values which are off the wall.

HAMILTON: For instance, docs are seeing loopy excessive ranges of a protein fragment referred to as D-dimer. This implies that the physique is attempting to interrupt down clots. Sufferers even have excessive ranges of thrombin, which is concerned in clot formation. And Osborn says the proof that COVID-19 is inflicting clots in plenty of locations would clarify an odd symptom that she and different docs have seen.

OSBORN: You will have areas that begin to change into purple on the palms and on the toes. We predict it most likely has to do with these blood clots which are going to the extremities.

HAMILTON: Medical doctors are nonetheless counting on anecdotal proof to deal with clots in COVID sufferers, however Osborn says that is higher than no proof in any respect.
