Abstract

Chronic liver injury mainly comprises viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. It is well established that gut microbiota serves as the key upstream modulator for chronic liver injury progression. Indeed, the term “gut–liver axis” was mostly applied for chronic liver injury. In the current chapter, we will summarize the relationship between gut microbiota and chronic liver injury, including the interaction between them based on latest clinic and basic research.
