Association between Deranged Liver Function Tests and Radiological Severity Indicators in COVID-19 Patients

Abstract

In this retrospective observational study data of 30 COVID-19 positive confirmed cases was extracted from medical archives of RD Gardi Medical College Hospital, and this data was analysed. Liver function tests like SGOT, SGPT and total bilirubin were compared to radiological indicators of increased lung involvement in these 30 patients. It was found that there is significant association between increased involvement of lung tissue damage and derangement of liver function tests of these patients at the time of admission. Lung tissue involvement was calculated as per radiologically established scores for assessing severity of COVID-19.
