Abstract
Advanced fibrosis in NAFLD patients is a risk factor for CKD. Leptin correlated inversely with advanced fibrosis. Unlike the previous studies, which were not performed in NAFLD patients, we found decreased leptin in NAFLD patients with decreased eGFR. Low leptin level was found to be a dependent predictor for differentiating NAFLD patients with high risk for CKD.
