Assess Pituitary Function in COVID-19 Patients and Correlate Results with Clinical Symptoms Fatigue
Recruiting
We are studying hormone levels and fatigue of people who have recently had COVID-19. Participants will complete questionnaires and have blood drawn to determine hormone levels. Participants who are experiencing high levels of fatigue or who have abnormal hormone levels will complete questionnaires and have blood drawn every three months for a year. We are hoping to determine how COVID-19 affects hormone levels and the pituitary gland, which is responsible for releasing hormones.
