“…These two proteins show the highest correlation (0.72 and 0.79 Spearman R, respectively) with the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a prognostic marker for COVID-19 ( Lian et al., 2020 ; Liu et al., 2020a ). We further report a strong correlation ( Figure 1 C) of alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transferase activities, both characteristic of biliary disorders ( Poynard and Imbert-Bismut, 2012 ), with plasma levels of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR). We notice that cholangiocytes (bile duct epithelium cells) express ACE-2 and can be directly infected with SARS-CoV-2 ( Zhao et al., 2020 ), potentially leading to host viral response-induced expression of PIGR and cell destruction ( Schneeman et al., 2005 ; Turula and Wobus, 2018 ).…”

“…Although the specific causes of hepatic disease of dogs in the HLEA group were not determined in this study (no liver histopathology), dogs within this group had high serum cholesterol concentrations. Hypercholesterinemia in liver disease in humans and animals is related to cholestasis 10 , 13 , as well as to increased hepatic synthesis and decreased lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase 13 . Moreover, while concentrations of most lipoproteins were also elevated in dogs with HLEA, they remained normal or low in dogs with cPSS compared to the Control group.…”

“…Congenital portosystemic shunts (cPSS) are commonly seen vascular liver anomalies in young dogs 6 and cats 7 , but occur very rarely in children 8 , 9 . In addition, there are many acquired acute and chronic hepatic diseases in humans and animals related to infectious, inflammatory, degenerative, vascular, neoplastic, drug- or toxin-related processes, as well as hepatopathies of idiopathic origin, which are associated with high serum liver enzyme activities 10 13 . Of major human public health concerns are acute and chronic hepatitis virus A to E infections and alcohol-related liver diseases 14 , which are not recognized in dogs 15 .…”
