Risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-associated hepatic fibrosis in type 2 diabetes patients

In patients with type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis is frequent and presumably associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk and mortality. The objective was to investigate risk factors associated with hepatic fibrosis in patients with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment. Liver stiffness measurements (LSM) expressed in kilopascals (kPa) and controlled...
