Brand new research suggests people who have had Covid are more likely to suffer from liver damage in the months and years after infection.
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in the US discovered a "statistically significant" relationship between higher liver stiffness and Covid infection when compared with the rest of the population.
Liver stiffness is a highly accurate measurement used in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis - or scar tissue within the liver - and can indicate long-term liver injury. Severe cases of fibrosis can lead to liver cancer and even failure.
