Abstract

Background: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing world over and is expected to affect 57 million adults in India by 2025. Apart from kidney, eye, heart and blood vessels, liver is also indirectly related with diabetes mellitus. Virtually the entire spectrum of liver disease is seen in patients with type 2 diabetes. This includes abnormal liver enzymes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cirrhosis and acute liver failure. There are not enough studies from rural population done on the hepatic status of diabetic patients in our country. Hence this study aims to describe the hepatic profile of type 2 diabetic patients.
