Prevalence of Non alcoholic fatty liver disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background and objectives: Microvascular and macrovascular complications of Type 2 DM are well studied, but association of T2DM with Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been recognized recently. The prevalence of NAFLD amongst T2DM is higher compared to non diabetics. There is evidence that T2DM patients with NAFLD are at higher risk of developing cirrhosis compared to non diabetics. Recent data suggest that the prevalence of NAFLD may also be linked to increased coronary artery disease risk, independent of risk conferred by the elements of metabolic syndrome. Indentifying people with NAFLD would also highlight a subgroup of diabetic patients who would be targeted to decrease their risk of future CAD events. Methods: This study was carried out in B.L.D.E.Us Shri B.M. Patil Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Vijayapur, Karnataka; during the period from November 2013 to June 2015. A total of 122 patients who were known case of Type 2 diabetes mellitus and who satisfied inclusion criteria were included in the study. Results: Out of 122 patients included in study 58(47.5%) had NAFLD, the most common sonographic grade of NAFLD was mild fatty liver (62%), followed by moderate (36%), then severe fatty liver (2%). The mean SGOT, SGPT and ALP levels were 3114.4 IU/L, 2514.2 IU/L and 10447.6 respectively. An elevated level of ALP was found to be significantly higher in patients with NAFLD compared patients without NAFLD. 58.6% patients with NAFLD had BMI above normal compared to 36.2% of patients without NAFLD who had elevated BMI which is statistically significant p=0.0001 Conclusion: Prevalence of NAFLD was 47.5% in T2DM patients was significantly associated with overweight, obesity, raised levels of TG, VLDL, ALP. Microvascular complications of T2DM were found to be significantly higher in patients with NAFLD. Macrovascular complication of T2DM Coronary artery disease was found to be significantly higher in patients with NAFLD.
