IL17A and Cirrhosis: Based on the positive association between high salt intake and markers of systemic Th17 activation and impaired liver function outlined in this study (Figures 2–4), as well as the established role of the Th17/IL-17Α axis in exacerbating liver pathologies, we reasoned that reducing dietary salt intake may have a positive effect in the Th17-mediated inflammatory profile during compensated cirrhosis.
