Clinical correlates of persistently elevated liver enzymes in type 2 diabetic outpatients

The pathogenic and epidemiological relationship between liver function and type 2 diabetes is fairly complex and not fully elucidated yet. This relationship has been only partly uncovered by studies on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition that may progress toward chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma [1 –3], especially when it occurs in diabetic subjects [4,5].
