Analysis of prevalence, risk factors & co-morbid associations between non alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus in a tertiary care hospital of Eastern India
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 9
Abstract
Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is one of the commonest causes of elevated liver enzymes in India nowadays. It is well documented that NAFLD prevalence is higher among patients with features of insulin resistance, obesity and dyslipidaemia. This association can promt one to consider NAFLD as a hepatic manifestation of Metabolic Syndrome. On the other hand India is now viewed as one of the largest home of Diabetes in the world . To analyse the close association between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and NAFLD a total of 100 patients were selected in this cross sectional, observational study. This study found significant link between obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and NAFLD, thus establishing some modifiable risk factors and clinical parameters, which should be focused for management by clinicians early during the course of the disease. Significant data for proving an association between the complications of diabetes and NAFLD would highlight a subgroup of Type 2 DM patients requiring earlier intensive therapy and management of risk factors.
