Background and Aims: Patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) commonly show liv-er function impairment. This study aimed to characterize the liver function indices in SFTS patients and investigate their association with mortality. Methods: Clinical infor-mation and laboratory results of 459 laboratory-confirmed SFTS patients, including 78 deceased and 381 surviving patients, were retrospectively analyzed. To explore the in-fectivity of SFTS caused by novel Bunyavirus (SFTSV) in hepatocytes, Huh7 human hepatoma cells were infected with various concentrations of SFTSV in vitro. Results: The proportion of SFTS patients developing liver injury during hospitalization was 73.2% (336/459); the hepatocellular injury was the predominant type. The median time to oc-currence of liver injury from disease onset was 8 d. Liver injury in the deceased group occurred earlier than that in the surviving group. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level between 2–5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) at 4–6 d and between 5–15 ULN at 7–12 d of disease course were independent predictors of mortality. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) >2 ULN at 7–9 d and elevated ALP at 10–12 days after disease onset were risk factors for death. ALT and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels were correlated with lymphocyte count and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Total bilirubin (TB), ALT, AST levels showed positive cor-relation with viral load. In the in vitro experiment, SFTSV infected and replicated inside Huh7 cells. Conclusions: Liver injury is common in SFTS patients. ALT and ALP were independent predictors of SFTS-related mortality. Fre-quent monitoring and evaluation of liver function indices are needed for SFTS patients.
