BACKGROUND & AIMS: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with poorer glycemic control and a higher risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D) complications, extrahepatic and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our study aim was to evaluate the association between NAFLD, T2D complications, and the development of overall clinical events (OCE) (CV, liver-related, and mortality) in patients with T2D.

METHODS: Prospective single-center study comprising T2D subjects with no history of CVD and non-T2D matched controls. Patients were selected from the Outpatient Diabetes Clinic of Vall d'Hebron Hospital and related primary care centers.

RESULTS: 186 diabetics and 57 controls were included. Amongst T2D, 124/186 subjects had NAFLD (66.6%). T2D-NAFLD subjects showed a heavier metabolic burden and higher median liver stiffness (5.6kPa [4.5-7.3] vs 4.8 [4.2-5.8]; p=0.004) compared to non-NAFLD diabetics. During a median follow-up of 5.6 years, 33 (17.7%) T2D patients developed OCE vs 4 (7.0%) controls (p=0.049). No differences were found for OCE between NAFLD and non-NAFLD diabetics (16.9% vs 19.4%; p=0.68). CV was the most reported outcome and only one liver event occurred. NAFLD diabetics showed more often chronic kidney disease (CKD), whereas T2D complications and subclinical CVD rates were similar. A higher liver stiffness, older age, and male gender were independently associated with OCE amongst the entire T2D population and NAFLD diabetics.

CONCLUSIONS: NAFLD and liver stiffness were associated with CKD and clinical outcomes in diabetics, respectively. A hepatic evaluation is recommended to identify high-risk T2D patients that would benefit from early referral to specialized care.
