Abstract:
At present, a large number of studies have revealed that intestinal bacteria play a very complex role in benign liver diseases, while there is relatively little research on intestinal fungi. As part of the gut microbiome, intestinal fungi are insignificant in numbers compared with intestinal bacteria, but the impact of intestinal fungi on human health and diseases cannot be ignored. This paper summarizes the characteristics and research progress of intestinal fungi in patients with alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, so as to provide basis of reference and ideas for the further research on the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal fungi in benign liver diseases.
