Core Tip	Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a worldwide pandemic. The study analyzed the clinical characteristics and risk factors of liver injury in Wuhan region COVID-19 patients. The early stage of COVID-19 may be associated with mildly elevated aminotransferase levels. We believed male sex and high D-dimer levels and neutrophil percentages may be important predictors of liver injury in patients with COVID-19.
