Screening for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in type 2 diabetes using non-invasive scores and association with diabetic complications

Abstract

While specific fibrosis scores identify different proportion of patients with advanced fibrosis, the use of age-adjusted FIB-4 cut-offs leads to a drop in gray-zone results, making referrals to hepatologists more sustainable. Interestingly non-invasive biomarkers were consistently associated with a different pattern of diabetic complications.
