Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are both prevalent and significant contributors to global morbidity and mortality. Despite their distinct pathophysiological mechanisms and target organs, emerging evidence suggests an interrelationship between these two conditions. This review aims to explore the current understanding of the potential link between COPD and NAFLD, discussing shared risk factors, underlying mechanisms, and clinical implications. Through an examination of epidemiological studies, biological pathways, and therapeutic approaches, we aim to illuminate the bidirectional relationship between these diseases and emphasize the need for integrated management strategies.
