The American Diabetes Association has updated its guidelines to call for increased screening for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in all adults with Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes.
June 26, 2023 -- The American Diabetes Association has updated its guidelines to call for increased screening for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in all adults with Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes., with NAFLD being the most common form.
NAFLD, which includes nonalcoholic steatohepatitis , can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. It is also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death, the ADA said in the news release. “Liver disease is increasingly being recognized as a major complication of diabetes,” Robert Gabbay, MD, the ADA’s chief scientific and medical officer said. “ADA is committed to preventing and curing diabetes, a complex, chronic illness that requires continuous medical care. For more than 30 years, ADA has been actively involved in the development of clinical practice recommendations that clinicians, researchers, health plans, policymakers, and others can rely on to guide diabetes care.
