Research Progress in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease
Type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic associated fatty liver disease have the similar pathogenesis,and they influence each other and have reciprocal causation.Early diagnosis of MAFLD and timely intervention are of great clinical significance for improving the prognosis of diabetic patients.At present,there are certain limitations in the clinical diagnosis of MAFLD because it is still limited to the imaging techniques and existing biological markers.There is currently no specific drugs for the treatment of MAFLD,lifestyle intervention and physical exercise are still the main treatments.Hypoglycemic drugs and bariatric surgery have certain clinical benefits for T2DM combined with MAFLD,but more clinical data is needed.Therefore,the study reviews the research progress on the diagnosis and treatment of T2DM combined with MAFLD in recent years.
