ABSTRACT
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinical syndrome characterized by hepatic steatosis and fat deposition in hepatocytes in the absence of significant alcohol use. A growing number of studies have shown significant dysregulation of intestinal microbiota in patients with chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a clinical syndrome induced by excessive bacteria in small intestine. This article reviewed the correlation between SIBO and NAFLD, as well as the effect of probiotics on treatment of NAFLD.
