Description
Shahnaz Armin and colleagues examined liver involvement in children hospitalized with COVID-19 in Iran in a 2026 cross-sectional study. Children usually fare mildly with the virus, but reports of liver effects kept growing, and their significance was unsettled.
The team reviewed 301 children with confirmed COVID-19 admitted to Mofid Children's Hospital in Tehran between March 2020 and July 2021. Liver involvement was defined as an ALT enzyme level above 40 units per litre. Raised ALT appeared in 84 children, just under 28 percent of the group. Clinical features, lab results, and imaging were compared between children with and without liver involvement using single-factor and multivariable regression. The analysis aimed to describe how liver involvement presents in paediatric COVID-19 and which children it strikes.
