Abstract

Objective: To summarize the existing evidence on the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the probability of microvascular complications in Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus databases search (from inception until October 31, 2023) was done for reports with cross-sectional, cohort or case-control design that included adult participants with T2DM and a documented NAFLD status. The selected studies were required to report on at least one microvascular outcome. Studies reporting adjusted associations were included. Random-effects models were used for all analysis. The pooled effect sizes for the associations were reported as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results: Sixteen studies were analysed. T2DM patients with associated NAFLD had similar risk of neuropathy (OR 1.08, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.21), compared to those without NALFD. NAFLD was associated with slightly lower risk of retinopathy (OR 0.86, 95% CI: 0.75, 0.98; N=10, I²=82.6%) an increased incidence of nephropathy (OR 1.21, 95% CI: 1.14, 1.29; N=12, I²=82.5%), compared to patients with T2DM but no NAFLD.

Conclusion: Diagnosis of NAFLD in patients with T2DM appears to increase the incidence of nephropathy and decrease the risk of retinopathy. Future studies are needed to confirm these observations.

期刊介绍： It is a peer reviewed medical journal published regularly since 1984. It was previously known as quarterly "SPECIALIST" till December 31st 1999. It publishes original research articles, review articles, current practices, short communications & case reports. It attracts manuscripts not only from within Pakistan but also from over fifty countries from abroad. Copies of PJMS are sent to all the import medical libraries all over Pakistan and overseas particularly in South East Asia and Asia Pacific besides WHO EMRO Region countries. Eminent members of the medical profession at home and abroad regularly contribute their write-ups, manuscripts in our publications. We pursue an independent editorial policy, which allows an opportunity to the healthcare professionals to express their views without any fear or favour. That is why many opinion makers among the medical and pharmaceutical profession use this publication to communicate their viewpoint.
