Abstract
Influenced by the fast pace and unhealthy living habits of modern society, the diagnosis rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been increasing year by year, and the age structure of the patients is showing a younger age structure, which poses a serious challenge to public health safety. Currently, the specific pathogenesis of NAFLD is unclear, and there are differences in the understanding and treatment of NAFLD between TCM and Western medicine. The purpose of this paper is to analyze and compare the Chinese and Western medicine nursing strategies for NAFLD and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of NAFLD, as well as to explore innovative paths of nursing research, and then to develop a review, with the aim of providing a reference for the future Chinese and Western medicine clinical treatment.
