Abstract

Abstract: Liver fibrosis is a dynamic process of complex fibrosis and inflammatory reactions caused by chronic liver injury caused by multiple causes. It can further progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer, and is a major factor affecting the life and health of patients with chronic liver injury problem. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms related to the occurrence and development of liver fibrosis and the research progress of current treatment targets in order to provide a basis for the clinical treatment of liver fibrosis.

Key words: liver fibrosis, molecular mechanism, therapeutic target
