Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with bacterial translocation and a higher inflammation response in psoriatic patients

Abstract Psoriasis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are both inflammatory diseases. The study objective was to estimate the risk of NAFLD, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and liver fibrosis (by liver stiffness and liver biopsy) in patients with psoriasis and to determine the epidemiologi...
