Shear Wave Elastography Reveals a High Prevalence of NAFLD-related Fibrosis Even in Type 1 Diabetes
Conclusions Our data revealed an unexpectedly high prevalence of
NAFLD-related liver fibrosis in patients with type 1 diabetes. To our knowledge,

diabetes in a non-preselected cohort. Considering the findings of our study,
regular screening for hepatic complications must be recommended for all diabetic
patients, even for those with type 1 diabetes. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart, GermanyArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text
