Abstract:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and colorectal adenomatous polyps are closely associated with the various components of metabolic syndrome. This article summarizes the recent studies on the association between NAFLD and colorectal adenomatous polyps, and the results show that NAFLD is associated with an increased risk of colorectal adenomatous polyps, while related mechanism remains unclear, which may be associated with insulin resistance, chronic inflammatory response, adipokines, and intestinal flora disturbance.
