Liver injuries have been reported with strong evidence in COVID-19 patients. Whether these disturbances are presented in patients recovered from COVID-19 is still unknown. Totally 31 COVID-19 recovered patients were collected. And 37 sex- and age-matched normal controls (NC) were were further recruited. MR imaging was performed using a 3.0T scanner with T1mapping, R2* mapping and proton density fat fraction (PDFF) for all the patients. Abnormal liver T1 and PDFF values, which may be associated with subclinical renal injury due to COVID-19.
