Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate liver fibrosis using FibroScan and biochemical markers in patients with diabetes.

Detailed Description

Patients with diabetes are at risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) leading to advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. However, liver fibrosis screening in this large population needs non-invasive methods. Recently, FibroScan was shown to be a good method for the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis in NAFLD patients. We examined the efficacy of a screening strategy with a noninvasive fibrosis biomarker (FibroTest) and transient elastography (FibroScan) in patients with diabetes.
