Influence of the intestinal microbiota on the formation and development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children

L.K. Parkhomenko, L.A. Strashok, M.A. Khomenko

Abstract


Recently, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has become one of the most common liver diseases among adults and is increasingly diagnosed in children and adolescents. This leads to a significant interest in finding new links in the etiopathogenesis of the disease. With the development and application of modern methods for studying the intestinal microbiota, significant progress has been made in understanding its impact on human health. The review presents current data that demonstrate the role of the intestinal microbiota in the formation and deve­lopment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children.
