Thus, the production of proinflammatory cytokines and biomarkers such as c-reactive protein (CRP), serum ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), D-dimer, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-2, and excessive activity of cytotoxic T cells following infection with SARS-CoV-2 and consequent liver tissue damage has also been reported [17, 18]. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and infection.
