Does Liver Density Change in Computed Tomography in COVID-19 Patients?

ABSTRACT Aim: Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mainly affects the lungs. However, other organs are affected as well. This article aimed to evaluate effects of coronavirus infection on liver density in addition laboratory findings. Methods: Biochemical parameters and non-contrast tomography images patients who presented pandemic clinic were studied retrospectively. Densities right left lobes measured. Patients divided into two groups according results polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests. Results: Our study included 117 PCR (+) 66 (-) patients. Statistical comparison revealed a significant difference age, densities liver, aspartate aminotransferase, gammaglutamyl transferase, total bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase values (p < 0.05). According correlation test, there was negative between transaminases. Conclusion: An inverse relationship emerged Therefore, functions should be monitored more closely COVID-19 during treatment, if it is at high levels, treatment started early.
