Abstract

The article reveals the high importance of taking into account the presence of skin changes when diagnosing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The following recommendations are given to practicing doctors: 1) for persons with rosacea, vulgar psoriasis and acne, comprehensive management by dermatologists-cosmetologists and gastroenterologists-hepatologists is advisable; 2) for early detection of NAFLD, the first contact physician is recommended to pay attention to the patient's presence of acne, rosacea and psoriatic changes, which can serve as a “marker of susceptibility” to NAFLD and should be taken into account in the process of early diagnosis of NAFLD.
