Longitudinal changes of liver function and hepatitis B reactivation in COVID‐19 patients with pre‐existing chronic hepatitis B virus infection

Abstract

Liver dysfunction presented in COVID-19 patients with/without chronic HBV. Moreover, those COVID-19 patients co-infected with chronic HBV could have a risk of hepatitis B reactivation. It is necessary to monitor liver function of COVID-19 patients, as well as HBV-DNA levels for those co-infected with HBV during the whole disease course.
