A Physiological Study to Evaluate Liver Function in Male and Female Patients Infected with COVID-19 Virus in Najaf City

Abstract

COVID-19 infection usually causes respiratory distress syndrome. Liver impairment has been reported, there is no clear mechanism for liver damage. Liver damage may be due to other factors, such as a viral infection or inflammations in the liver. Lack of information among the residents of the city of Najaf about the differences between males and females infected with the “Corona Virus” disease (“Covid-19”). In this study, we focus on the effects of (“COVID-19”) on liver physiology in 60 (“COVID-19”) patients (20-70 years old). Examinations, taking into account demographic information as well as clinical findings, show that the patient has liver abnormalities. The result indicated increasing of  liver enzymes ALT,AST,ALP and TBiL levels on patients with covid-19 Corona Virus.Males patients had a higher risk of liver enzymes level elevation than females. ("TBiL") concentrations were highly increased when compared with control.  In critical patients, severe liver cells abnormalities result from ("COVID-19"), which requires follow-up and immediate therapeutic intervention. Because of its strong relationship with the severity of  the injury in ("COVID-19"), ALT,AST,ALP, and TBiL it is expected to be of great importance in the future prediction and diagnosis of infection.
