Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disorder worldwide and is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Objective: To evaluate ultrasonographic features of NAFLD in patients with T2DM and examine their association with clinical and metabolic parameters. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 patients with T2DM. Abdominal ultrasonography was performed using a 3.5-MHz curvilinear transducer to assess liver echogenicity, echo texture, and liver size. Results: Moderate hepatic steatosis was the most frequent finding (39%) and showed statistically significant associations with older age, higher body weight, increased liver size, and longer duration of diabetes (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Ultrasonography provides a reliable and accessible modality for early detection and risk stratification of NAFLD in patients with T2DM.
