COVID-19 can cause liver injury observable using mpUS. More severe forms of COVID-19 and patient obesity are related to increased values of liver damage observed. In comparison to MRI and CT, mpUS appears to be more sensitive to involvement of liver parenchyma. Further research is warranted to establish this promising method for evaluating post-COVID-19 liver involvement in the aftermath of the pandemic.
