Abstract:
There's a very complicated association between gut microbiota and diseases. With the development of metagenomics and bioinformatics, people have a new recognition of its role in pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatments. This review focuses on the close relationship between gut microbiota and liver diseases, analyzes and discusses the current research status, value of clinical applications and development directions. It is suggested that investigating the interactions between gut microbiota and body to discover new pathogenic pathway, maybe helpful in seeking for relevant drug targets and developing more sensitive early detection markers, then undoubtedly facilitate the clinical diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases.
