The Liver in COVID-19-Related Death: Protagonist or Innocent Bystander?

Other histological changes may be explained by previous hepatic conditions or underlying hepatic diseases. We concluded that COVID-19 infection was not associated with a specific histopathological pattern of the liver.Pathobiology
