Interaction between hepatitis B virus replication and lipid metabolism in patients with chronic hepatitis B and NAFLD / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

There is still a large number of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in China, which greatly affects the health of Chinese people. With the change in lifestyle, the incidence rate of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing year by year in China. Some clinical studies have shown that there is a relatively low incidence rate of chronic HBV infection with NAFLD, while there are still reports on NAFLD in promoting the progression of chronic hepatitis B-related diseases. Based on literature search and review, this article attempts to investigate the interaction between HBV replication, abnormal lipid metabolism, and fatty liver disease in patients with chronic hepatitis B and NAFLD, in order to provide ideas for HBV antiviral treatment and prevention of NAFLD.
