NAFLD and COVID

[Silver888]

I have been diagnosed with NAFLD, does this mean if I catch covid then my prognosis is worse?

This is the latest British Liver Trust guidance on covid and having a liver condition.

britishlivertrust.org.uk/co...

If by having NAFLD you are overweight or also have diabetes and are over 40 then you are at slightly higher risk with covid but wouldn't be in the previous 'shielding' group of the most clinically vulnerable.

Make sure you are following the most stringent of social distancing measures.

I also have NAFLD so a bit concerned about COVID-19. What I do take is Vitamin D3 regularly and there is growing evidence that it does assist in immunity against the disease and other colds and flu. The videos I’d follow from a dr who is studying this fails to understand why governments aren’t pushing this and researching more.

Hi Silver,

Katie has kindly shared our website info for you. Do keep a check on our website as we try to update it as soon as hear about new guidance.

If you are worried about your own personal risk, it is important that you discuss this with your doctor. New evidence about how the virus behaves is emerging all of the time.
