MELBOURNE : Scientists have developed a predictive metabolic model for COVID-19 infection that shows multi-organ effects of the disease.Researchers from Murdoch University in Australia and the University of Cambridge in the UK collected blood plasma specimens from a group of COVID-19 positive patients.They matched them with the samples of a control group of healthy age and body mass matched participants to determine the key metabolic differences between the groups.The samples revealed a profound biological fingerprint of the disease that includes elements of liver dysfunction, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, and coronary heart disease risk, the researchers said.These have all been found to be related to the long-term effects in patients that were.
