Abstract
NAFLD is also potentially contributing to an important burden of extra-hepatic chronic complications. For reasons that are not completely clear, NAFLD is more common in men than women and although precise estimates of incidence rates for NAFLD are uncertain (because of difficulties with establishing a precise diagnosis during sequential follow up), current incidence rates are approximately 20/10,000 person years, peaking in the sixth decade of life. Aim: To study the clinical profile of non alcoholic fatty liver disease in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Material and methods: A cross sectional study was carried out among 50 cases having type 2 DM were further evaluated for non alcoholic fatty liver disease under Medicine Department of tertiary health care center. Detailed clinical profile of the participants were studied. All data was collected and complied in Microsoft excel. All statistical analyses were performed by using IBM SPSS statistics Version 21.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and openepi version 2.3.1. Results: Majority 79% were in age group >40 years. Mean age in years was 65.8 +11.26, male preponderance was seen. Mean HbA1C was 7.5+0.73, ranging from 5.1 to 12.5. majority 70% had HbA1C >6, 20% had between 5.7- 6 and 10% had <5.7. Mean SGOT was 66.3+ 76.6, mean SGPT was 44.6+46.8, mean ALP was 98.1+40.3.On USG finding majority 60% had grade 1, 30% had grade 2 and 10% had grade 3. Conclusion: Physician treating the type II DM cases having raised lipid and LFT should have a high suspicion of NAFLD. Early diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD will help in minimizing further complications and will have a good prognosis for the disease.
