The management of NAFLD in patients with concurrent HBV infection presents unique challenges, primarily due to the complex interplay between these two diseases. Nanomaterials have gained widespread attention due to their ability to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. This review provides an overview of the current advances in therapeutic nanomaterials for NAFLD and explores their potential applications for personalized and effective management in patients with concurrent HBV infection. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and future directions in the development of nanomaterials for the treatment of coexisting liver diseases.Keywords: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic hepatitis B virus infection, nanomaterials |
