High FIB-4 index as an independent risk factor of prevalent chronic kidney disease in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
2016
Background
Growing evidence suggests that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is linked to an increased risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD); liver fibrosis with biopsy-proven NAFLD has also been shown to associate with an increased risk of CKD. This study compares the diagnostic performance of simple noninvasive tests in identifying prevalent CKD among individuals with ultrasonography-diagnosed NAFLD.
