Low N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels are associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.
CONCLUSION: - Reduced plasma NT-proBNP levels are independently associated with high liver fat content in patients with T2D. The present study suggests that NP deficiency may play a role in the development of NAFLD in T2D.
