PG - e12356 LID - 10.1097/MD.0000000000012356 [doi] LID - e12356 AB - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is closely related to hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. The aim of this study was to analyze the occurrence of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients with T2DM and to explore the risk factors.A total of 629 patients with T2DM were enrolled. Liver stiffness value (LSV) and controlled attenuation parameters (CAP) were measured using Fibroscan. Liver fibrosis was diagnosed when LSV was greater than 7.4 kPa, and advanced liver fibrosis was diagnosed when LSV was greater than 10.6 kPa. Hepatic steatosis diagnosis was made when CAP value was greater than 238 dB/m. Demographic information, physical examination data, and laboratory tests results were collected. The 629 patients were classified into 2 groups by the liver fibrosis and liver steatosis, and then the difference was analyzed.Among patients enrolled, 231 patients were diagnosed as liver fibrosis. The age of the patients in the fibrosis group was significantly greater than that in the non-fibrosis group, and similar trends were observed in the waist-hip ratio (WHR), systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. The proportion of smoking and alcoholic consumption was significantly lower in patients with non-fibrosis group. A total of 426 patients were diagnosed with liver steatosis. Body mass index (BMI), WHR, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in patients with steatosis were significantly higher than those in non-steatosis group. We observed that the LSV (P = .042) and CAP value (P < .001) are positively correlated with metabolic syndrome components in T2DM patients. Older age (OR = 1.099, P = .001), high BMI (OR = 1.088, P = .003), low platelet level (OR = 0.996, P = .014), and smoking (OR = 1.653, P = .013) were independent risk factors of liver fibrosis among T2DM patients. High BMI (OR = 1.369, P < .001), high diastolic blood pressure (OR = 1.048, P < .001), and high gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (OR = 1.018, P = .009) were independent risk factors for liver steatosis among T2DM patients.This study suggested risk factors screening of liver fibrosis and steatosis. Timely intervention should be taken into consideration among high risk patients to prevent progress liver diseases.
