Abstract: With the increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes, the incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases(NAFLD)has gradually increased. More and more patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are complicated with NAFLD. The chronic HBV infection and NAFLD are both causes of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), and the patients with CHB and NAFLD might have the increased risk of HCC. In this article, we review the hepatocarcinogenesis, prevention and control management of patients with CHB and NAFLD, and patients with HCC.
