Abstract
Liver dysfunction is common with COVID-19 infection, and the prevalence is higher in men as well as in the elderly. Manifestations of liver damage such as high aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activity, increased bilirubin levels, low albumin levels, and prolonged prothrombin time are associated with severe COVID-19 infection. Mortality in patients with diffuse liver diseases without cirrhosis with COVID-19 infection was 12 %, in the presence of liver cirrhosis — up to 40%, decompensated liver cirrhosis — up to 43–63%. The mechanisms of liver damage in COVID-19 include direct hepatotoxicity and indirect liver damage (due to systemic inflammation with impaired immunity, sepsis, hypoxia, ischemia, coagulopathy, endotheliitis, right ventricular failure, worsening of the course of existing liver diseases, drug liver damage). Treatment of patients with diffuse liver diseases includes lifestyle and nutritional modification, the use of hepatoprotective drugs, and means of correcting the intestinal barrier (bibliography: 30 refs).
