Liver diseases such as NAFLD and ALD are on the rise globally, with a close relationship to the intestinal microbiota. Understanding the role of intestinal microbiota and the gut-liver axis may lead to novel therapeutic approaches for these diseases.
Introduction: Liver diseases are currently common disorders worldwide. Especially, the proportion of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is growing globally.
