| Core Tip |
There is scarce data specifically evaluating the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and liver fibrosis in patients with recent-onset type 2 diabetes (< 5 years since diagnosis) and without micro or macrovascular complications. The Hispanic population is regarded as high-risk for metabolic diseases, including MASLD. We found a high prevalence of MASLD, affecting 41.4% of the study population, with 10% presenting clinically significant liver fibrosis (liver stiffness measurement ≥ 8 kPa) and 3% having cirrhosis. Our findings support incorporating liver health screening into the routine evaluation of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from diagnosis, even in those with good glycemic control and without chronic complications. |
