SummaryA 46-year-old woman without previous history of hepatobiliary disease was admitted to the intensive care unit due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Admission blood tests revealed impending hyperinflammation in the context of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. She required 12 days of mechanical ventilation and vasopressor support. After admission, liver function tests became deranged in a cholestatic pattern and continued to worsen despite overall clinical improvement. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed liver abscesses, intrahepatic bile duct dilation with multiple strictures and some linear repletion defects at the bifurcation of the common hepatic duct. During endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, biliary casts were retrieved confirming the diagnosis of secondary sclerosing cholangitis in the critically ill patient triggered by a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Other causes of cholestasis and secondary sclerosing cholangitis were properly excluded. We present an illustrative case and discuss the current literature, focusing on SARS-CoV-2 infection contribution to the development of this potentially underdiagnosed and severe condition.
