About this test
Post-COVID syndrome affects an estimated 1.9 million people in the UK, characterised by persistent symptoms including fatigue, breathlessness, brain fog, joint pain, and post-exertional malaise lasting more than 12 weeks after initial infection. The mechanisms are multiple — including immune dysregulation, microclotting, autoimmunity, reactivation of latent viruses, and mitochondrial dysfunction. This comprehensive panel screens for the key biochemical abnormalities identified in long COVID research, alongside treatable comorbidities that may exacerbate symptoms.
Note: Comprehensive screen including full blood count, inflammatory markers, thyroid function, cardiac markers, nutritional panel, liver and renal function, and clotting assessment.
What this test can detect
- Inflammatory and immune dysregulation — elevated CRP, ESR, and abnormal full blood count
- Thyroid dysfunction — commonly exacerbated or unmasked by COVID-19 infection
- Nutritional deficiencies — vitamin D, B12, and iron depletion exacerbating fatigue
- Cardiac biomarker abnormalities — D-dimer elevation suggesting ongoing microclotting
- Autoimmune markers triggered by post-COVID immune dysregulation
Who should have this test?
- Individuals with persistent symptoms 12 or more weeks after COVID-19 infection
- Those experiencing post-COVID fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, or joint pain
- Anyone seeking objective biochemical assessment to guide long COVID management
