Core Tip Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is now recognized as a multisystem disease. It is closely linked to obesity, insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, and hypertension. The present case-control study revealed that MASLD is strongly associated with chronic kidney disease, particularly in patients with DM and advanced hepatic fibrosis. The factors associated with chronic kidney disease included hepatic fibrosis score, steatosis score, Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance, DM, and obesity. Incorporating liver fibrosis assessment using FibroScan may aid in the early identification of patients with MASLD who are at high risk for renal disease.
