    Patients with chronic liver disease, especially cirrhosis, are at increased risk for severe outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection.

  • 3

    The study analyzed biochemical liver changes in Wilson’s Disease patients before and after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

  • 4

    71 out of 192 eligible Wilson’s Disease patients had complete follow-up data for assessing liver function post-infection.
