- Abstract
High mortality rates for SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with pre-existing chronic liver disease and cirrhosis: preliminary results from an international registry. Here, we present the second reported case [1] of an adult patient who underwent liver transplantation (LT) after recovering from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. In cirrhotic patients with COVID-19 at high risk of vein thrombosis, with or without prior PVT, the starting or increasing thromboprophylaxis would be useful, as already reported.
