Core Tip	Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 readily infects the liver by angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. Increased angiotensin II causes Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) overstimulation allowing the accumulation of Na+ and Ca2+ in hepatocytes. Thus, hepatocytes are damaged and eventually die. Increased cytokine release increases fibrinogen levels, enhancing thrombotic events. Cytokine storms can be triggered by NHE overstimulation. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2-induced NHE overstimulation can change bile acid structure, which disrupts gut microbiota and can trigger cytokine storms. Liver damage from the virus can be considered the most important cause of disease progression and mortality.
