What are micro and macro emboli in the context of COVID-19?

• Symptoms of COVID-19

• Clots in small and large blood vessels

• Types of vaccines

• Types of viral infections

Which system is potentially involved in the coagulation issues seen in COVID-19 patients?

• Renin-angiotensin system

• Nervous system

• Digestive system

• Lymphatic system

Which lab test is associated with increased mortality when elevated in COVID-19 patients?

• D-dimer

• Blood glucose

• Liver enzymes

• Cholesterol

What is a common lab finding in the late stages of COVID-19 related to coagulation?
