In December 2019, an outbreak of infection in Wuhan (China) originated from a new type of coronavirus, which was called SARS-CoV-2, a viral agent that causes COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019). This disease was declared an international health emergency by the WHO. The lung is the organ mainly affected by COVID-19, however, based on a complete and detailed review of the current literature, liver lesions have been detected generally in severe disease states that manifested with alteration in the serum levels of the liver markers, commonly in the absence of liver comorbidities that could alter liver testing. The mechanisms that probably caused this liver injury were the direct infection of the SARS-CoV to the hepatobiliary system mediated by ACE-2, multi-organ failure in a critical state, drug toxicity, psychological stress and/or the progression of a preexisting liver disease; however, the pathophysiology and etiology are not exactly known. Due to this, we will seek to analyze the epidemiology, etiological agents and pathophysiology of liver damage caused by COVID-19, which will expand the scientific knowledge of health professionals for proper patient management.
