Liver injury in COVID-19: prevalence and its associated factors in Nepal - A retrospective cross-sectional study.

Unlabelled: Liver impairment has been reported as a common clinical manifestation in patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 infection, with varying degrees of severity ranging from a mild elevation of liver enzymes to acute liver failure. However, the prevalence and clinical significance of liver injury in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, particularly in low- and middle-income countries such as Nepal, remains poorly understood. To investigate the hepatic injury related to this disease and its clinical significance, the authors conducted a retrospective study that included adult patients with COVID-19 infection in security hospitals of Nepal.
