Prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in rheumatoid arthritis: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis

The prevalence of NAFLD is remarkable in RA patients, with varying rates depending on diagnostic methods. The substantial heterogeneity observed across studies, reflected in the wide range of the prediction interval, underscores the need for further studies to provide a more precise estimate. Given the notable prevalence of NAFLD/NASH in RA patients, clinicians are suggested to consider this issue by implementing regular liver screening as a valuable part of RA patient care. More studies are essential to offer a clearer and more consistent understanding of NAFLD/NASH in this population.

Abstract

The prevalence of NAFLD is remarkable in RA patients, with varying rates depending on diagnostic methods. The substantial heterogeneity observed across studies, reflected in the wide range of the prediction interval, underscores the need for further studies to provide a more precise estimate. Given the notable prevalence of NAFLD/NASH in RA patients, clinicians are suggested to consider this issue by implementing regular liver screening as a valuable part of RA patient care. More studies are essential to offer a clearer and more consistent understanding of NAFLD/NASH in this population.
