Abstract: The most frequent source of impaired liver function tests in adults is Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Non-Alcoholic Liver Fatty Disease (NAFLD) are usually seen together. It was considered a manifestation of metabolic syndrome. NAFLD’s symptoms vary from basic steatose (NAFL), Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis. The prevalence of NAFLD among T2DM patients is 70%. This was a hospital based study. The study lacks histological evidence for NAFLD in the cases included and enhanced imaging modality such as MRI spectroscopy was not included in the treatment of NAFLD in this research. NAFLD is particularly prevalent in person with type 2 diabetes and is correlated with high CVD prevalence.
