Description
Bacteria that overgrow the small intestine may help drive fatty liver disease, and the claim needed a pooled test. Ziteng Wang and seven co-authors gather the studies in 2024, screening seventy-two hundred papers down to fourteen that compared the two conditions head to head. The combined odds came out clearly.
People with the overgrowth had about three times the odds of fatty liver, and the link strengthened with the liver disease's severity. Biopsy proven cases showed the strongest tie of all. Race and regional development explained much of the disagreement between studies. The authors conclude the overgrowth likely feeds the liver disease's development. Better breath and culture testing, they suggest, would sharpen the picture.
