Dr. T. Saravanan, Dr. K. Indhu

Abstract :

 Recent times overweight and obesity have reached epidemic levels in India. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is significant lipid deposition in hepatocytes of liver without history of excessive alcohol consumption. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is the commonest cause of NAFLD. Patients may have varying combination of obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and impaired fiinolysis. This study was done to find out the prevalence of NAFLD in T2DM with obesity and find out the correlation of biochemical risk factors and liver enzymes with ultrasound findings. Our study showed 55% prevalence of NAFLD in obese T2DM patients. The Risk of developing NAFLD is increased with poor glycemic control, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia which is evident with increasing liver enzymes. The incidence of NAFLD can be ought under control with good glycemic control and periodic evaluation of liver enzymes.
