Patients with novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) experience various
degrees of liver function abnormalities. Liver injury requires extensive work-up
and continuous surveillance and can be multifactorial and heterogeneous in
nature. In the context of COVID-19, clinicians will have to determine whether
liver injury is related to an underlying liver disease, drugs used for the
treatment of COVID-19, direct effect of the virus, or a complicated disease
course. Recent studies proposed several theories on potential mechanisms of liver
injury in these patients. This review summarizes current evidence related to
hepatobiliary complications in COVID-19, provides an overview of the available
case series and critically elucidates the proposed mechanisms and provides
recommendations for clinicians.
