Although coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been associated with gastrointestinal manifestations, its effect on the pancreas remains unclear. We aimed to assess the frequency and characteristics of hyperlipasemia in patients with COVID-19.
A retrospective cohort study of hospitalized patients across 6 US centers with COVID-19.
Of 71 patients, 9 (12.1%) developed hyperlipasemia, with 2 (2.8%) greater than 3 times upper limit of normal. No patient developed acute pancreatitis. Hyperlipasemia was not associated with poor outcomes or symptoms.
Although a mild elevation in serum lipase was observed in some patients with COVID-19, clinical acute pancreatitis was not seen.
虽然冠状病毒病(COVID-19)与胃肠道表现有关,但它对胰腺的影响尚不清楚。我们旨在评估 COVID-19 患者中高脂血症的频率和特征。
对 6 个美国中心的 COVID-19 住院患者进行回顾性队列研究。
71 例患者中,9 例(12.1%)发生高脂血症,2 例(2.8%)高于正常上限 3 倍。没有患者发生急性胰腺炎。高脂血症与不良结局或症状无关。
尽管在一些 COVID-19 患者中观察到血清脂肪酶轻度升高,但并未出现临床急性胰腺炎。
