STUDYING LIVER FIBROSCAN ULTRASOUND IMAGING CHARACTERISTICS IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES TYPE 2 DIABETES
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To describe the characteristics of liver fibroscan ultrasound images in patients with type 2 diabetes. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional and prospective description of 142 type 2 diabetes patients undergoing Fibroscan ultrasound at Military Hospital 103 from April 2023 to February 2024. Results: The average fatty liver index on Fibroscan was 250.2 ± 63.8 dB/m. Most patients have grade S3 fatty liver on Fibroscan (28.9%). There is no difference between the degree of fatty liver on Fibroscan and the duration of type 2 diabetes. The average liver fibrosis index on Fibroscan is 6.16 ± 3.1 kPa. Most patients have grade F1 fibrosis on Fibroscan (14.1%). There was no difference in the average liver fibrosis index over time. Conclusion: The average fatty liver index on Fibroscan was 250.2 ± 63.8 dB/m. Most patients have grade S3 fatty liver on Fibroscan (28.9%). The average liver fibrosis index on Fibroscan was 6.16 ± 3.1 kPa. Most patients have grade F1 fibrosis on Fibroscan (14.1%). Duration of type 2 diabetes does not affect the degree of fatty liver and fibrosis on Fibroscan.
