This cross-sectional study of 300 participants investigates the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and type 2 diabetes. By evaluating hepatic measurements and metabolic markers, the study aims to identify key risk factors for CKD in this population, contributing valuable insights to inform targeted interventions.
investigators plan to enroll 300 participants with type 2 DM to comprehensively investigate the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, the participant population will be grouped based on presence of MAFLD or not into 2 groups, then the group with MAFLD will be subdivided into subgroups based on the degree of hepatic involvement, considering both controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) values for steatosis and liver stiffness measurements for fibrosis via fibro scan device. This grouping strategy aims to categorize individuals into distinct cohorts, such as Low Hepatic Involvement and High Hepatic Involvement groups, facilitating a nuanced exploration of the association between hepatic conditions and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the context of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
