Measuring for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with type 1 diabetes may improve the risk prediction for chronic kidney disease, according to findings published in Diabetes Care.
A study by Giovanni Targher, MD, of the University of Verona in Italy, is the first to demonstrate that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly linked to an increased incidence of CKD.
Targher and colleagues followed 261 adults with type 1 diabetes with preserved kidney function and no macroalbuminuria at baseline for an average of 5.2 years. The researchers investigated the occurrence of CKD, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m², and/or macroalbuminuria. Ultrasonography was used to diagnose NAFLD.
