Non-obese non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and the risk of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data on risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) between non-obese and obese non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients are limited. We aimed to reveal the risk difference of incident CKD between non-obese and obese NAFLD patients.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases for studies which reported the incidence of CKD in non-obese and obese NAFLD from inception to 10 March 2024. The primary and secondary outcomes were pooled. Subgroup analysis was used to examine the heterogeneity.

Results

A total of 15 studies were incorporated. The incidence of CKD in non-obese and obese NAFLD were 1,450/38,720 (3.74%) and 3,067/84,154 (3.64%), respectively. Non-obese NAFLD patients had a comparable risk of CKD as obese NAFLD (odds
