High Liver Fat Associates with Higher Risk of Developing Symptomatic COVID-19 Infection - Initial UK Biobank Observations

2020-06-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> A high proportion of COVID-19 patients develop acute liver dysfunction. Early research has suggested that pre-existing fatty liver disease may be a significant risk factor for hospitalisation. Liver fat, in particular, is a modifiable parameter and can be a target for public health policy and individual patient plans. In this study we aimed to assess pre-existing liver disease...
