- Abstract: Chronic liver disease （CLD） tends to have a high incidence rate and impose a serious burden on society and families. Studies have shown that metal ion metabolism is closely associated with CLD， and some Chinese herbal medicines can play a role in the prevention and treatment of CLD by regulating metal ion metabolism. At present， the synthetic drugs currently used for the treatment of CLD fail to achieve a satisfactory effect， and therefore， a variety of Chinese herbal medicines are being used as supplementary and alternative therapies for CLD. This article introduces the role of metal ion metabolism in CLD and the regulatory effect of Chinese herbal medicines and their active components on CLD， and the analysis shows that metal ion metabolism is expected to provide new ideas for the research on CLD and a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of CLD. For the role of metal ion metabolism in the treatment of CLD， more prospective clinical study data are needed in the future to provide effective and safe treatment regimens for patients with CLD.
