The SARS-CoV-2 virus, a novel coronavirus that first caused a series of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019, has caused Coronavirus Infectious Disease-19 (COVID-19) ranging in severity from mild asymptomatic disease to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and has become a central health problem world wide for one year . We aimed to share our case who developed liver failure due to covid-19, which is more severe than we have encountered in the only literature published so far.Our case is a 67-year-old medical doctor with advanced heart failure, chronic renal failure,hypertension and diabetes. When we excluded other causes, the patient died of fulminant liver failure, which we think was due to covid -19.Although our knowledge about SARS-CoV-2 is not sufficient yet, we think that it should be kept in mind that it may also cause fulminant liver failure.
