Biostatistical and mathematical analysis on liver disease during COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

Bin Zhao, Xia Jiang

The liver is an essential organ that regulates many physiological processes in the body. This contributes to important functions, such as metabolism, excretion, food resistance and energy. The liver is supposed to defend itself from the hazards of medicines and chemicals in addition to performing medicinal functions. The liver plays an important role in many important physiolog- ical processes such as glucose homeostasis, essential protein production, lipoprotein and lipid production, bile acid excretion and vitamin accumulation. It is widely reported that foreign sub- stances, hepatotoxins, and chemotherapy impair its function. Damage due to chronic alcohol abuse, bacterial hepatitis, or metabolic disorders. Cellular necrosis, fibrosis, increased tissue oxidation, and reduced tissue glutathione levels are all linked to liver injury.
