Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is still and will become a major problem worldwide as its prevalence is increasing. The new proposed term metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has opening the new horizon from the old dominant liver disease to metabolic associated liver disease. Gut microbiota dysbiosis is considered as “a man behind the gun”, not only causing a problem in the gut but also in other organs. Since gut microbiota also has a strong link to metabolic dysfunction, this chapter discusses gut microbiota dysbiosis in NAFLD, starting from the basic science until the most recent clinical evidence.
