COVID-19 convalescent plasma

Aaron A. R. Tobian et al.

Summary: COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) is a treatment option for COVID-19 that works through the mediation of antibodies and is primarily effective for elderly outpatients in the early stages of the disease. However, it is not effective for hospitalized patients with moderate to severe disease. Collection of CCP should be as close as possible to the time and location of the patient.

Summary: This study investigated the association between drug treatments and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The results showed that patients who received antibiotics, antifungal agents, and corticosteroids had a higher risk of DILI. Additionally, parenteral nutrition and enteral nutrition were identified as risk factors for liver injury.

Summary: This study describes cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection among patients with chronic liver disease and liver transplant recipients after receiving at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. The results suggest that vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 leads to favorable outcomes, with fully vaccinated patients experiencing no mechanical ventilation, ICU admissions, or deaths when facing COVID-19.

Summary: New COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna showed the highest efficacy in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 in adults. There was no significant difference in the prevention of symptomatic disease among the elderly population. mRNA-1273 and Gam-COVID-Vac vaccines were associated with a higher probability of protection against severe COVID-19 compared to other vaccines.

Effect of COVID-19 on Pre-existing Liver disease: What Hepatologist Should Know?

Praveen Sharma et al.

Summary: COVID-19 patients may exhibit liver enzyme derangement in 15-55% of cases, with factors like advanced age, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, malignancy, and cardiovascular disease predisposing them to severe disease and hospitalization. Pre-existing liver diseases, particularly cirrhosis, can increase the severity and mortality of COVID-19. Immunosuppression should be reduced in patients with autoimmune liver disease, and certain medications like hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir have been found to be safe for patients with cirrhosis and COVID-19.
