  • Chronic liver diseases can progress to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis and may lead to portal hypertension and even hepatocellular carcinoma. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that statins can improve liver histology, delay progression to liver fibrosis, and reduce the risk of decompensation and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This article introduces the advances in the application of statins in patients with chronic liver diseases, so as to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of chronic liver diseases.
