Around 80 per cent of people were already struggling with some disease
According to research published in the British Journal of Hematology, of the 83 serious patients included in the study, 81 percent are Europeans, 12 percent Asian, 6 percent African and one percent Spanish. The average age of the patients is 64 years. About 80 percent of these patients were already struggling with some disease. Of these patients, 60 per cent were cured and 15.7 per cent had died.
Clotting Proteins Level up
Researchers checked the protein levels of D-dimer to see how quickly blood clotting occurs in patients. D-dimer protein is a protein that increases the risk of blood clotting due to excess in the body. This research found higher than normal amounts of D-dimer protein in patients. According to the researchers, patients had abnormal blood clotting in the lungs, which were caused by small clots. These patients were admitted directly into the ICU.
More cases of clotting in more severe patients
Researcher Prof. According to James O'Donnell, pneumonia also affects our lungs, but the kind of infection that was seen in the lungs of Corona patients was not seen anywhere. Doctors are trying to understand these small clots that develop in the lungs of patients, so that patients can be treated properly. Its cases are more prevalent in patients who are already in high-risk zone i.e. those who are older and who have a serious disease already.
Increased blood clotting Heart attack and stroke risk
Let us know that this research came after a health report by American experts. This health report said that the most deaths of corona victims were due to blood clotting. Blood clotting was seen in the patients discharged from the hospital. Another research has shown that blood clotting increases the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients.

Low blood clotting cases in Chinese
Researchers say that blood clotting is rarely seen in Chinese people because of genetic differences. This is why there have been far more serious cases of coronavirus in the US and Europe than in China.
