Gut microbiota in hepatitis B cirrhosis
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Hepatology - Year 2025, Vol 41, Issue 3
Abstract
Hepatitis B cirrhosis is the most significant component of liver cirrhosis in China, and there is a significant increase in the mortality rate of patients after progression from hepatitis to liver cirrhosis. A large number of studies have shown that gut microbiota may influence the progression of hepatitis B cirrhosis, including the impact on the regulation of inflammatory response and intestinal immunity, the inhibition of HBV, and the production of ammonia-like substances. This article reviews the research advances in the changes in gut microbiota in hepatitis B cirrhosis patients and explores new ideas for the treatment of hepatitis B cirrhosis by intervening in gut microbiota.
