COVID-19-associated liver injury is defined as any liver damage that occured during during the course of infection and treatment of COVID-19 patients, with or without preexisting liver disease. This includes a broad spectrum of potential pathomechanisms, including direct cytotoxicity from active viral replication of SARS-CoV-2 in the liver and immune-mediated liver damage due to the severe inflammatory response/ systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in COVID-19. Data was taken from 206 patients with COVID-19 who were admitted to our hospital and were examined physically. Laboratory and ultrasound results showed abnormal rates associated with liver disease. The four-year study was conducted from January 2018 to December 2021. 116 pts were collected in the period 2018 to 2019 (2 years precov) and 90 pts 2 years (2020-2021) in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. Women’s precov was 60 pts and dcov was 30 pts, while men showed 56 pts and 60 pts precov during COVID-19 infection. Liver cirrhosis was 28 pts precov and 41 pts dcov, followed by NSRH 25 pts precov and 12 pts dcov, NASH 24 pts precov and 6 pts dcov, Hep. B 20 precov and 10 dcov, acute viral hepatitis 12 precov and 16 dcov points. In total liver cirrhosis placed the first rank 69 pts (33, 5%). Followed by NSRH 17, 96 %; NASH 14, 56%, B. Hep. 14, 56 % and Ac.viral Hep. 13, 59%. Keywords: pre-during pandemic covid-19, liver disease, liver cirrhosis
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
