Association of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Diabetes Mellitus

February 1, 2021 updated by: Georg Dultz, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital

This study will evaluate the association of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and diabetes mellitus. Patients presenting in our clinic with Diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2 will receive the following examination:

  • Transient Elastography and Controlled Attenuation Parameter using the FibroScan
  • blood examination including biochemical markers The statistically calculated sample size needed is 340 patients.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Steatosis
Time Frame: one day
• Evaluating the presence of liver steatosis in patients with diabetes mellitus using the ultrasound-based method "Controlled Attenuation Parameter", which is integrated in the FibroScan machine and can non-invasively quantify liver steatosis (Steatosis fibrosis scores I-III [ Designated as safety issue: No ]; Steatosis scores: 0 = <5% I = 5-33% II = 33-66% III = >66%)
one day

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Fibrosis
Time Frame: one day
• Evaluation of the prevalence of liver fibrosis using transientelastography (FibroScan) and serological markers in patients with diabetes mellitus (Liver fibrosis scores I-IV (METAVIR) [ Designated as safety issue: No ]; METAVIR fibrosis scores: I = mild fibrosis II = significant fibrosis III = advanced fibrosis IV = cirrhosis)
one day
Steatosis (serum)
Time Frame: one day
• Evaluating the prevalence of liver steatosis using serum steatosis markers in patients with diabetes mellitus
one day
