Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type-II. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out at the Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore for the duration of six months. A total of 130 cases of diagnosed cases of DM-II were evaluated for NAFLD. Out of 130 cases, there were 81 (62%) females and 49 (38%) males. The mean age of the patients was 52.31±5.96. The 61 % females were found to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, whereas, the 53 % males were found to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease on ultrasound. The diabetic females (type-II) were more prone to have a nonalcoholic fatty liver disease than males. The type-II diabetes is the most common risk factor associated with NAFLD.
