Abstract:
Coronavirus disease 2019 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has become a serious threat to global public health security. Besides lung diseases, severe cases are also accompanied by varying degrees of liver injury. Previous studies have shown that patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus may also suffer from liver injury, which is closely associated with disease severity. This article elaborates on the clinical features and pathogenesis of liver injury caused by these three types of highly pathogenic human coronavirus, in order to help clinicians better understand this disease and make accurate decisions.
