Post COVID 19 Test

Rapid Results DNA + Drug Testing's Post COVID 19 Test helps identify or monitor health conditions of those who have had COVID-19.  The majority of COVID illnesses resolve within 4 weeks.  However, after recovering some people will continue to experience long-term health complications. 

These conditions are sometimes referred to as "Long COVID" or "Chronic COVID."  In general, Long COVID is defined by symptoms that persist for more than 4-12 weeks from the initial infection.

Post-COVID illness can affect different people in different ways.  Some may develop symptoms that never entirely go away.  Others may feel fully recovered and develop new or returning symptoms later.  Some people may develop worsening symptoms associated with a pre-existing condition.

This test includes:

• C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Quantitative
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free T4  
• Urinalysis, Complete
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin B12

Symptoms of post-COVID illness can include but are not limited to fatigue, shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, headache, cognitive impairment (brain fog), lightheadedness, insomnia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, mood changes, heart palpitations, loss of endurance, irregularity in menstrual cycles, and erectile dysfunction. 

These tests are not intended to diagnose any specific conditions.  Abnormal test results should be discussed with a person's primary care physician.

Turnaround for these tests is typically 2-3 business days.
