[Concerns about COVID-19-associated liver injury].

ABSTRACT

Patients infected with 2019-nCoV/SARS-CoV-2 are usually accompanied with liver injury, which may correlates with the severe forms of the disease. The pathogenesis of COVID-19-associated liver injury is not only related to the underlying liver diseases, viral cholangitis, systemic inflammatory response, and hypoxic liver injury, but also to multiple factors that lead to liver injury in patients. Therefore, during the course of treatment, the patient's liver function should be closely monitored, and attention should be paid to the occurrence of drug-induced liver injury.
