Overview

COVID-19-associated hepatic Injury must be differentiated from other conditions that cause elevation of liver enzymes.

Differential Diagnosis

COVID-19-associated hepatic Injury must be differentiated from other conditions that cause elevation of liver enzymes.

Disease Clinical manifestations Laboratory findings Additional findings
Symptoms Signs Transaminitis (elevated AST and ALT) Viral markers Autoimmune markers
