Evaluated Glomerular Filtration Rate Is Associated With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A 5-Year Longitudinal Cohort Study in Chinese Non-obese People.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Evidence regarding the association between evaluated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is still limited. On that account, the purpose of our research is to survey the link of evaluated eGFR on NAFLD.

Methods

This study is a retrospective cohort study. Which consecutively and non-selectively collected a total of 16,138 non-obese participants in a Chinese hospital from January 2010 to December 2014. We then used the Cox proportional-hazards regression model to explore the relationship between baseline eGFR and NAFLD risk. A Cox proportional hazards regression with cubic spline functions and smooth curve fitting (the cubic spline smoothing) was used to identify the non-linear relationship between eGFR and NAFLD.
