Hello, COVID-19 Meet Your Liver
Hello, COVID-19 Meet Your Liver
COVID-19, the virus that swept across the globe, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake, has not only affected the respiratory system but has also shown a significant impact on the liver. This narrative delves into the intricate relationship between COVID-19 and liver damage, exploring the mechanisms, symptoms, and long-term effects of this viral assault on one of the body's vital organs.

Related: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with a significant morbidity and mortality in patients with cirrhosis. There is a significantly higher morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19 in patients with decompensated cirrhosis as compared to compensated cirrhosis, and in patients with cirrhosis as compared to noncirrhotic chronic liver disease.

Liver injury due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is being increasingly recognized. Abnormal liver chemistry tests of varying severities occur in a majority of patients. However, there is a dearth of accompanying liver histologic studies in these patients.

COVID-19 and liver disease: mechanistic and clinical perspectives
Our understanding of the hepatic consequences of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and its resultant coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has evolved rapidly since the onset of the pandemic. In this Review, we discuss the hepatotropism of SARS-CoV-2, including the differential expression of viral receptors on liver cell types, and we describe the liver histology features present in patients with COVID-19.

Liver Injury in Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19: Possible Role of Therapy
Liver Injury in Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19: Possible Role of Therapy
Patients with COVID-19 show a high prevalence of liver injury. The pattern of this liver damage is still not fully understood. Different etiopathogenetic factors may concur; from a direct cytopathic effect, once the virus binds to the ACE-2 receptors, to the immune-mediated collateral damage, due to cytokine storm.
