| Core Tip |
Several studies have addressed the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in patients with cirrhosis. The presence and stage of cirrhosis is correlated with the development of severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), COVID-19-related adverse outcomes, and mortality. It remains unclear whether SARS-CoV-2 infection is a trigger of acute decompensation or acute-on-chronic liver failure in cirrhotic patients based on the current evidence. There is still no clearly proven effective pharmacological treatment for cirrhotic patients with COVID-19. Clinicians should maintain standard cirrhosis care, defer unnecessary liver-specific procedures and have a low threshold for admission if cirrhotic patients are infected with SARS-CoV-2. |
