Popis: We aimed to systematize the results of published studies on the use of Saccharomyces boulardii (SB) for the treatment of various liver disorders (CRD42022378050). Searches were conducted using PubMed and Scopus on 1 August 2022. The PubMed search was updated on 15 June 2024. The review included sixteen studies: ten experimental animal studies (EASs) and six randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The CNCM I-745 strain was used in 68.8% of the included studies. SB reduced the severity of many manifestations of cirrhosis, and lowered the Child–Pugh scores in RCT. SB reduced the serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-4 in animals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD); lowered the serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels in experimental cirrhosis in rats; and reduced the CRP levels in decompensated cirrhosis. The EAS of MASLD revealed that SB reduced liver steatosis and inflammation and lowered the liver expression of genes of TNF-α, IL-1β, interferon-γ, and IL-10. In studies on experimental cirrhosis and MASLD, SB reduced the liver expression of genes of TGF-β, α-SMA, and collagen as well as liver fibrosis. SB reduced the abundance of Escherichia (Proteobacteria), increased the abundance of Bacteroidetes in the gut microbiota, prevented an increase in intestinal barrier permeability, and reduced bacterial translocation and endotoxemia.
