Abstract

Over the past two years, the COVID-19 disease caused by 2019-nCoV infection has continued to affect human health, posing a great threat to global public health. Several studies have shown that different degrees of liver injury can occur in patients with COVID-19, which is closely related with severe forms of the disease. Therefore, it is necessary for clinicians to further understand the characteristics, diagnosis and treatment methods of COVID-19-associated liver injury.

近2年来,新型冠状病毒感染引起的新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)持续影响着人类的健康,对全球公共卫生造成了极大的威胁。多项研究表明,COVID-19患者可出现不同程度的肝损伤,与疾病的严重程度密切相关,因此,临床医生有必要对COVID-19相关肝损伤的特点及诊治方法有更进一步的认识。.
