Clinical Profile of Adults with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) With and Without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), ranging from simple steatosis to its more severe form, steatohepatitis (NASH), is an increasingly common problem in patients with T2DM and is associated with progression to cirrhosis and extrahepatic complications (i.e., cardiovascular disease [CVD]). There is limited information on the clinical profile of T2DM patients with NASH in “real world” practice. Accordingly, we studied the clinical profile of participants (pts) with NASH, with or without T2DM (nonDM), enrolled in TARGET-NASH, a large longitudinal observational study of patients with NAFLD followed at 54 sites (39 academic/15 community) across the U.S. Data collected from medical records (including lab data, imaging, pathology, procedures, and outcomes) is sent to a central database utilizing novel data abstraction technology. Among 1743 pts studied to date in TARGET-NASH, 1261 had NASH diagnosed by biopsy or clinical criteria (699 T2DM and 562 nonDM). Pts with T2DM and NASH were older (median 61 vs. 56 years) and had a higher BMI than nonDM (34.0 vs. 32.0 kg/m 2 , both p Disclosure K.
