Coronavirus is a serious, multidimensional illness that attacks the lungs and other organs.  It cannot be defined, diagnosed or described with a single positive or negative test. Prana Health offers a comprehensive evaluation by a board-certified pulmonologist who can provide the appropriate recommendations for the management and treatment of the disease and its effects. The value of a single diagnostic test in determining whether you have or don’t have had the illness is limited and strife with controversies.

Our traditional approach is which involves a thorough evaluation of  your history, physical examination, blood work to determine high risk indicators like LDH, CRP, Vitamin D, lymphocyte count, d-dimer and a chest X-ray, ultrasound evaluation for blood clots or CT scan of the chest, as the need may be. One third of patients with COVID 19 have blood clots, may need an ultrasound or CT scan of the chest for the diagnosis and, blood thinners for the treatment.
