Abstract

Over the past two years, the COVID-19 outbreak caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), centralized the interest of the health care systems and the scientific world. Majority of the COVID-19 infected individuals fully recover. However, about 12%-50% of patients experience a variety of mid- and long-term effects after recovering from the initial illness. These mid- and long-term effects are collectively known as post-COVID-19 condition or 'long-COVID'. In the coming months, the long-term consequences of COVID-19 on the metabolic and endocrine systems may expect to rise and pose a global health care challenge. This review article aims to discuss the possible metabolic and endocrine complications of long-COVID and the relevant research findings.
