Core Tip
Core Tip: The relationship between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly recognised but their shared mechanisms remain poorly elucidated. We evaluate the association between IBS and NAFLD and discuss the risk factors and possible common mechanistic pathways including the brain-gut-liver axis, gut dysbiosis and translocation, altered hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sleep quality.
