摘      要：In recent years,humanity has been confronted with a global pandemic due to coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19),which has caused an unprecedented health and economic crisis *** from the respiratory symptoms,which are considered the principal manifestations of COVID-19,it has been recognized that COVID-19 constitutes a systemic inflammatory process affecting multiple organ *** the spectrum of organ involvement in COVID-19,acute liver injury(ALI)has been gradually gaining increasing attention by the international scientific ***-19 associated liver impairment can affect a considerable proportion of COVID-19 patients and seems to correlate with the severity of the disease ***,COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit(ICU)run a greater risk of developing ALI due to the severity of their clinical condition and in the context of multi-organ *** putative pathophysiological mechanisms of COVID-19 induced ALI in ICU patients remain poorly understood and appear to be multifactorial in *** theories have been proposed to explain the occurrence of ALI in the ICU setting,such as hypoperfusion and ischemia due to hemodynamic instability,passive liver congestion as a result of congestive heart failure,ischemia-reperfusion injury,hypoxia due to respiratory failure,mechanical ventilation itself,sepsis and septic shock,cytokine storm,endotheliitis with concomitant coagulopathy,druginduced liver injury,parenteral nutrition and direct cytopathic viral *** should be noted that no specific therapy for COVID-19 induced ALI ***,the therapeutic approach lies in preventive measures and is exclusively supportive once ALI *** aim of the current review is to scrutinize the existing evidence on COVID-19 associated ALI in ICU patients,explore its clinical implications,shed light on the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and propose potential therapeutic *** research on the pa
