Besides digestion and absorption of nutrients, another important feature of the intestine is epithelial mucosal barrier. Intestinal epithelial mucosal barrier consists of mechanical, immune, chemical, and biological barriers. Although different barriers have different structures and functions, they can interact with each other in a complicated manner. Severe hepatitis is the most serious form of hepatitis. Some studies have demonstrated that severe hepatitis is closely related to intestinal mucosal injury. Therefore, intestinal mucosal injury has become an important topic for research of severe hepatitis. In this paper, we review the relationship between severe hepatitis and intestinal mucosal barrier.
