Abstract

BACKGROUND: The coexistence of hepatic fibrosis (HF) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents a significant clinical concern due to their poorly characterized shared pathogenic mechanisms. Current limitations in identifying common biomarkers for comorbid cases impede early dual diagnosis and therapeutic interventions.
