NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) can be used in outpatient services to identify chronic vascular complications besides advanced liver fibrosis in type 2 diabetes
We demonstrate in 351 diabetic patients with steatosis that NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), a rapid and affordable score to diagnose hepatic fibrosis, identifies patients at higher risk of advanced fibrosis and vascular diabetic complications (especially peripheral neuropathy), pointing NFS as a first-l...

Summary: | We demonstrate in 351 diabetic patients with steatosis that NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), a rapid and affordable score to diagnose hepatic fibrosis, identifies patients at higher risk of advanced fibrosis and vascular diabetic complications (especially peripheral neuropathy), pointing NFS as a first-line vascular and hepatic screening in diabetic patients.
•Hepatic fibrosis by NFS is highly prevalent in patients with T2DM and NAFLD.•Prevalence of hepatic fibrosis by NFS is similar to that obtained by Fibroscan®.•NFS identifies patients with higher prevalence of diabetic vascular complications.•NFS can be used to evaluate vascular and hepatic damage in T2DM outpatient services. |
