Background: The severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) population compared with that in normal glucose tolerance (NGT) individuals has not yet been assessed by a quantitative method. We investigated the prevalence and the severity of NAFLD in a T2DM population using controlled attenuation parameter (CAP).Methods: Subjects who underwent testing for biomarkers related to T2DMand CAP using Fibroscan during a...
