Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Novel Cardiometabolic Risk Factor for Type 2 Diabetes and Its Complications

Abstract

CONTEXT: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly diagnosed worldwide and is the most common chronic liver disease in Western countries. In this review, we discuss the role of NAFLD as a novel cardiometabolic risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and for the development of major chronic complications and poor glycemic control in people with established T2DM. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: This is a clinical, narrative review and not a systematic review and meta-analysis. PubMed was extensively searched for articles using the keywords "nonalcoholic fatty liver disease" or "fatty liver" combined with "diabetes risk," "cardiovascular risk," "cardiovascular mortality," "chronic kidney disease," or "diabetic nephropathy" between 1990 and 2012. Articles published in languages other than English were excluded from the analysis. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: NAFLD exacerbates hepatic insulin resistance and increases the risk of developing T2DM. Growing evidence also indicates that NAFLD may worsen glycemic control in people with T2DM and may contribute to the development and progression of the most important chronic complications of diabetes, such as cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. CONCLUSIONS: The adverse impact of NAFLD on risk for T2DM and its major chronic vascular complications deserves particular attention among endocrinologists/cardiologists/hepatologists, in view of the implications for screening and surveillance strategies in the growing number of patients with NAFLD. Clinicians who manage patients with NAFLD should not only focus on liver disease, but should also recognize the increased risk of developing T2DM and its chronic vascular complications and undertake early, aggressive risk factor modification.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
