Screening for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Using Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography and Serial Elastography Measurements to Monitor Response to Therapy: Methodological Details

MASLD is a common liver disease in the diabetic population. Although Asians exhibit a considerably lower BMI and reduced obesity rates in contrast with other ethnic groups, they present an elevated prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and MASLD. This study is expected to estimate the prevalence of MASLD. A higher rate of MASLD is expected in diabetic individuals with poor glycemic control and who have other metabolic diseases.
