Effects of sodium –glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with type 2 diabetes: A meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionsSGLT2 inhibitors can significantly decrease alanine aminotransferase and liver fat, accompanied with weight loss, which might have a positive effect on fatty liver in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The limitation is that the sample size of the studies was small. Therefore, more large randomized controlled trials specified on NAFLD are required to evaluate these results.
