Cover Story: Gut dysbiosis is noted in various liver diseases. Alcoholics show high intestinal permeability, intestinal dysmotility and gut dysbiosis. Microbiota and their products modulate intestinal barrier function. Gut dysbiosis causes endotoxemia in alcoholics and NAFLD patients. Gut dysbiosis facilitates energy-producing and pro-inflammatory conditions in the progression of NAFLD. Endotoxemia is related to cirrhotic complications where autochthonous bacteria are decreased and pathogenic bacteria are increased. The gut dysbiosis is associated with early death in cirrhotic patients. Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis and primary biliary cholangitis also shows gut dysbiosis. Dysbiosis-induced altered bacterial metabolites may induce hepatocarcinogenesis. View this paper.
