Abstract
In this editorial, we comment on the article by Zhao et al which highlighted how patients having nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were more susceptible to drug-induced lung injury (DILI). This article looked at the downstream effects of metabolic profiles and biochemical processes after medication and substance use. Although previous studies looked at how NAFLD and DILI were related, there is a lack of information on the consequences of everyday medication and substance use. NAFLD is one of the most common chronic liver diseases worldwide and it has been found to be closely related to metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this editorial is to analyze the interaction between NAFLD and DILI, what clinical manifestations can occur and what the prognosis of these patients will be.
