| Core Tip |
Liver injury is a common feature in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and was associated with disease severity and prognosis. Multiple pathophysiological mechanisms are responsible for liver injury, including direct viral effect, cytokine storm, hypoxia and drug hepatotoxicity, however, further research is needed, in order, for them, to be clearly defined. Patients with underlying chronic liver disease may be more susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection; nevertheless, evidence is still limited. It is necessary to know the mechanisms of liver injury, the clinical manifestations and the effect of COVID-19 in underlying liver disease, in order to design appropriate management programs. |
