– ¨Não se sabe ao certo se, diante do contexto atual, os pacientes com doença hepática crônica são mais suscetíveis à infecção por SARS-CoV-2. A doença hepática crônica sem a presença de terapia imunossupressora parece não apresentar risco aumentado de adquirir infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2. Ao mesmo tempo, o fígado parece estar mais suscetível à infecção por SARS-CoV-2 devido à presença dos receptores da enzima conversora de angiotensina 2 (ECA2) nas células epiteliais biliares e hepáticas. Os achados laboratoriais mais comuns entre os pacientes infectados por COVID-19 incluem níveis elevados de aminotransferases, enquanto a variação de aumento de AST e ALT é geralmente leve (< 5 vezes o limite superior da normalidade)¨
