To quantify liver and pancreatic fat content in subjects with and without type 2 diabetes as measured by MRI-PDFF-observational study

Aim of this study was to quantify liver (LFC) and pancreatic fat content (PFC) in subjects with and without type 2 diabetes (DM) as measured by MRI-PDFF. 25 adult patients who had recently diagnosed DM were compared with control group of 37 without DM. All underwent MRI PDFF for evaluation of LFC and PFC. The mean LFC in DM group was more: 12.1 % (8-20) vs Non-DM 6.7% (4.2-10.7).The overall prevalence of NAFLD in our study, was 72.6% (45/62 patients).In DM subgroup the NAFLD prevalence was more-88.0%. MRI PDFF can be a screening tool for NAFLD in patients with DM.
