Carried out by researchers at Stanford Medicine, the new study analyzed data gathered from 116 patients with a median age of 50 who tested positive for COVID-19 at Stanford Health Care from March 4 to 24.
However, in addition to these classic symptoms associated with COVID-19, 31.9% of the patients also reported gastrointestinal symptoms, with the majority of these patients describing the symptoms as mild. In addition, 22% experienced loss of appetite, 22% had nausea and vomiting, while 12% had diarrhea.
“We also noticed that 40% of patients had elevated levels of an abnormal liver enzyme, and that those with high levels required more hospitalization,” co-lead author Dr. George Cholankeril said.
