Elevated liver enzymes

Covid can cause damage to the liver. My understanding is that the damage is rarely enough to require treatment. The article tries to examine the liver situation with long covid.

I asked your question at Open AI - ChatGPT … https://openai.com/chatgpt/ … and got this reply:

“Yes, Long COVID has been associated with elevated liver enzymes in some patients. Studies and case reports suggest that liver dysfunction may persist in people with Long COVID, manifesting as elevated levels of liver enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). These enzymes can indicate liver inflammation or damage.

The exact mechanisms are still being studied, but there are several possible explanations for liver involvement in Long COVID, including:

Direct Viral Infection: SARS-CoV-2 may directly infect liver cells (hepatocytes) and bile duct cells (cholangiocytes) through ACE2 receptors, which are present in the liver.
Immune Response: The body's immune response to the virus can cause inflammation in various organs, including the liver, leading to elevated enzyme levels.
Medications: Some of the medications used during acute COVID-19, such as antivirals, antibiotics, and steroids, can contribute to liver stress or damage.
Systemic Inflammation: The systemic inflammation seen in COVID-19 can also have a broad impact on organ systems, including the liver.
While elevated liver enzymes are generally mild and resolve on their own, persistent cases should be monitored and evaluated by healthcare providers to rule out more serious liver conditions.“

I think they are. I have them
as well. I will look for the list. I have a book that is free that may be helpful. Below is just about liver but this company does a full book on symptoms.
Hope it helps!
