Abstract

Objective: To study the association of nonalcoholic fatty pancreatic disease (NAFPD) with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Method: This cross-sectional study was done from 1st Jan to 30th September 2024 in the department of medicine and radiology at Pakistan Railways Hospital. Hundred patients were divided in two groups with fifty participants in each. Group 1 included patients with NAFLD proven on ultrasound and group 2 included healthy subjects. The patients’ demographics, abdominal ultrasound, biochemical and metabolic data were recorded and analyzed using SPSS version 21.0.
Results: NAFPD was strongly associated with NAFLD. It was present in 46% patients with NAFLD while 14% in healthy subjects. Statistically significant association of fatty pancreas was seen compared to healthy group with body mass index (30.39 versus 27.31), type 2 diabetes (76% versus 6.97%), hypertension (30% versus 8%), and metabolic syndrome (78% versus 16.27%).
Conclusion: Our study showed that NAFPD is strongly associated with NAFLD and other metabolic risk factors.
