| Core Tip |
The earlier studies suggested that most vulnerable individuals to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection suffer from pre-existing disease, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). There is an interwoven relationship between NAFLD and the associated high-risk factors for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). NAFLD can increase risk of infection, lung injury, cardiac impairment and difficulty with respiratory ventilation and can be associated with higher risk for COVID-19 especially in presence of liver fibrosis. The association between high production of interleukin- 6 in both NAFLD and COVID-19 may raise the need for further research in whether NAFLD can directly be involved in the cytokine storms. |
