Patients with SARS-CoV-2 and HBV co-infection are at risk of greater liver injury
摘要
Abstract
To date
it remains unclear if severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) co-infection exacerbates liver injury in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. In this study
we present a retrospective study of 133 hospitalized confirmed mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases
including 116 patients with COVID-19 with negative serum hepatitis B antigen and 17 HBV inactive carriers with COVID-19. We found that there were no significant differences for the discharge rate or duration of hospitalization between the two groups. However
inactive HBV carriers with SARS-CoV-2 co-infection are at a higher risk of abnormal liver function tests. The enhanced liver injury induced by SARS-CoV-2 and HBV co-infection was identified as the hepatocyte type rather than the cholangiocyte type. Moreover
the inflammatory response
including abnormal lactate dehydrogenase
D-dimer and interleukin-6 production
may contribute to this injury following SARS-CoV-2 co-infection. Collectively
SARS-CoV-2 and HBV co-infection exacerbates liver function of the patients with COVID-19.
