It is reported that about 2% to 11% of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients have underlying chronic liver disease, and the impact of liver diseases on the susceptibility and severity of patients with COVID-19 infection, and whether the SARS-CoV-2 infection will deteriorate the progression of chronic liver diseases is still unclear. In this article, we mainly focus on the influence of different basic liver diseases on the outcomes of patients with COVID-19 infection.
