Despite liver injury in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (CoV)-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with prolonged hospitalization, and liver dysfunction is mainly described in patients with severe viral disease. How liver abnormalities may affect virus infection is still unknown. Improved understanding of host genetics, lifestyle, underlying comorbidities and adequate follow-up of patients with liver damage are critical in the new scenario of the pandemic virus.
尽管感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 型(SARS-CoV-2)的患者存在肝损伤与住院时间延长有关,且肝功能障碍主要见于重症病毒性疾病患者,但肝异常如何影响病毒感染仍不清楚。在大流行病毒的新形势下,改善对宿主遗传、生活方式、潜在合并症以及肝损伤患者的充分随访的认识至关重要。
