This test measures:
- Fibrinogen
Ruth had Long Covid for over a year and was experiencing severe fatigue, headache and brain fog. Amongst other tests carried out, this blood test identified a increased level of fibrinogen. This indicates a higher level of blood clotting, possibly microclotting that is detected in Long Covid.
Ruth started on fibrinolytic enzymes including nattokinase to help with blood flow. Within a few weeks, her energy began to improve and her cognitive function increased. She still had symptoms and needed to manage her condition, but this was an important piece of the puzzle for her.
Key Findings:
- Elevated levels of fibrinogen
