Effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on liver function in patients with hepatitis B.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on liver function and prognosis in patients with HBV infection.

Methods

A total of 154 HBV-positive patients (HBV ( +) group) and 154 HBV-negative patients (HBV (-) group) diagnosed with COVID-19 at Taizhou Hospital between December 10, 2022, and January 31, 2023, were included in this study. Clinical characteristics, treatment, and laboratory findings were collected from patients at three time points: before (T1), during (T2), and at the time of discharge (T3) from SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Results

Compared to the HBV (-) group, the HBV ( +) group had a longer hospital stay (15 (9-22) days vs. 9 (5-16) days). Longitudinal comparisons of laboratory indicators from T1 to T3 showed a continuous decline in TP and AL
