摘要
Although different studies have associated coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)with the occurrence of liver injury,the hepatic injury route during the COVID-19 course is not yet fully understood.In order to better understand the mechanisms of the disease,the human gut microbiota has been the subject of extensive discussion in the context of COVID-19 pathophysiology.However,many questions remain,including the risks of liver injury due to COVID-19 specific populations.Further research in this field could allow the discovery of new personalized treatment strategies aimed at improving the microbiota composition,thereby reducing COVID-19 severity and its complications in different populations.In this article,we discussed basic mechanisms of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and recent evidence on the relationship between COVID-19,the gut microbiome and liver injury as well as proposed recommendations for further research.
