In another retrospective cohort study done in 1827 hospitalized patients, liver tests were abnormal in patients with COVID-19 both pre-hospitalization (AST 20.3%, ALT 19.1%, ALP 13.4%, TBIL 4.1%, albumin 27%) and peak hospitalization (AST 83.4%, ALT 61.6%, ALP 22.7%, TBIL 16.1%, albumin 86.6%). Here, ALB is linked to COVID-19.
