Abstract：Objective: To evaluate the extent of liver steatosis and fibrosis in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and correlation between liver steatosis and fibrosis by FibroTouch technique. Methods: Ninety-two cases of T2DM patients were enrolled and divided into group A(46 cases, diabetic duration>10 years) and group B(46 cases, diabetic duration≤10 years). Forty-six healthy subjects were enrolled as controls(group C). FibroTouch technique was used to measure the liver fat attenuation parameter(FAP) and liver stiffness measurement(LSM). Results: The FAP and LSM of group A and group B were significantly larger than those of group C(all of P<0.05); the FAP of group A was smaller than that of group B and the LSM of group A was larger than that of group B(all P<0.05). The degree of liver steatosis increased in group A and group B compared with that of group C(all of P<0.05)， and the degree of liver steatosis decreased in group A compared with that of group B(P<0.05); The degree of liver stiffness increased in group A and group B compared with that of group C (all of P<0.05), and the degree of liver stiffness increased in group A compared with that of group B(P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between liver fibrosis and steatosis(r=-0.81, P<0.05). Conclusion: The fibrosis and steatosis of the liver in T2DM patients can be evaluated non-invasively, conveniently and objectively by FibroTouch technique, which has an important clinical value.
