0-24 |
Sentence |
denotes |
4.4 SARS-CoV-liver risk |
T104 |
25-174 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The elevated ALT and AST levels indicate liver damage, which was evident in SARS-CoV infected individuals right from the initial stages of infection. |
T105 |
175-281 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Also, the bilirubin levels were elevated, and the albumin levels decreased, indicating the hepatic damage. |
T106 |
282-393 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Also, the degree of hepatic damage depends on the severity of the disease [[37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42]]. |
T107 |
394-522 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The ACE2 receptor, which is responsible for the SARS-CoV entry, is widely distributed on the hepatic tissue's endothelial cells. |
T108 |
523-672 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The existence of the viral genome in the vascular endothelial cells and parenchymal cells indicates that SARS-CoV infects the lungs and other organs. |
T109 |
673-772 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The presence of viral load in the hepatic cells was confirmed using RT-PCR technique [12,14,37,43]. |
T110 |
773-1012 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Also, the SARS-CoV specific protein 7a has shown to be responsible for causing apoptosis not only in the lungs but also in the other organs, including the liver through the caspase-dependent pathway, thereby resulting in liver injury [44]. |
T111 |
1013-1138 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were increased, which indicates that SARS-CoV also results in the inflammation [42]. |
T112 |
1139-1364 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It was also noted that SARS-CoV patients with predisposed hepatitis were more vulnerable to severe SARS-CoV infection due to the reason that the hepatitis virus exhibits exaggerated replication during SARS-CoV infection [45]. |
T113 |
1365-1498 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Sometimes, the drugs used to treat viral infections may also lead to liver injury, which is termed as drug-induced liver injury [37]. |
