Abstract
Introduction: Corona damage a wide range of organs and their functions So, the purpose of this study is to compare the function of kidneys and livers in COVID-19-infected people and people who were in the recovery phase after about five months from the onset of the infection.

Methods: This study was carried out in Samarra General Hospital (COVID-19 epidemic center) in Salahuddin province Iraq from the 1st of January 2022 till the end of December 2022. In The case-control study 100 subjects (men and women 20-80 years), 40 adult people as control with negative RT-PCR or CT-Scan for COVID-19 and no apparent chronic diseases, and 60 subjects (n=30). The blood urea, creatinine as markers of kidney function, ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and C-reactive protein as markers of liver function by special kits were assessed.

Results: In COVID-19-infected subjects and in subjects in the recovery stage, the markers of kidney function, blood urea, and creatinine increased significantly (p<0.001), and in this regard, no difference was seen between the two genders. Similarly, the evaluation of compounds related to liver function, including ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and C-reactive protein, was significantly higher in both affected and recovering patients (p<0.001) compared to healthy individuals. In this case, there was no difference between the two genders.

Conclusion: It seems that not only in COVID-19-infected subjects but also in subjects who have recovered from corona, in both men and women, there are relatively permanent failures in the function of kidneys and liver.
