Abstract
Introduction: Type 2 diabetics have a high risk of suffering from fatty liver disease alcoholic. Detection and early intervention may reduce cardiovascular risk, prevent their complications and reduce their progression. The objective is to evaluate the correlation between the markers by abdominal ultrasound and indirect serological markers in type 2 diabetic patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver. Method: A descriptive, correlational and transversal study was carried out. Thirty three patients were studied to evaluate the severity of hepatic steatosis by abdominal ultrasound. The indirect serological markers were glycemia, total cholesterol, triglycerides, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase and ganmaglutamyl transferase. The results of both markers by Student's T test, Kolmogorov adjustment test and variance analysis. Results: The average age was 54.9 ± 9.1 years. Moderate hyperechogenic marker (45.5%) with diffuse pattern was more frequently observed. The most altered indirect serological markers were glycemia (n = 29, 87.8%), triglycerides (n = 25, 75.8%), total cholesterol (n = 22,66.7) and alanine-transaminase (n = 21). 63.6%). The levels of glycemia and enzyme ASAT offered Rho Spearman values of r = 0.65 and r = 0.61 respectively. Conclusion: The development of nonalcoholic fatty liver appears to be linked to chronic metabolic decompensation and insulin resistance. The levels of glycemia and ASAT enzyme were the indirect serological markers that had the highest statistical correlation with the degrees of liver injury diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound. It is recommended the use of predictive models from clinical variables, Indirect and ultrasound serological markers in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver for its simplicity, and good correlation with more techniques complex. Risk stratification with the use of these tools enables implement early measures to reduce morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular causes.
