It is therefore assumed that viral direct effect in liver might not operate absolutely through ACE2 expression, and other receptors could not be excluded. Alternatively, the finding of up-regulated ACE2 expression in hepatocytes in cirrhotic liver inspired us to speculate that SARS-CoV-2 infection might induce compensatory hyperplasia of hepatocytes, which are possibly derived from highly expressed ACE2 cholangiocytes [16] . All in all, our data fully support a direct role of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 related hepatic impairment.
