摘　　要：Haemorheological abnormalities have been described in diabetes mellitus,as well as in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).However,the relationship between the changes in liver fat content and haemorheology is unknown.The current study aims to show the correlation between haemorheological parameters and intrahepatic lipid content(IHLC)in patients with type 2 diabetes.The serum biochemical markers,such as fasting plasma glucose(FPG),haemoglobin A1c(HbA1c),liver enzymes,lipid profiles,and haemorheological properties,were examined.IHLC was quantified using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1 H-MRS)scanning of the liver.A significant correlation was observed between IHLC and whole blood viscosity at high,middle,and low shear rates.IHLC also positively correlated with haematocrit,the reduced whole blood viscosity at low and middle shear rates,and the erythrocyte aggregation index.Diabetic patients with NAFLD exhibited significant haemorheological abnormalities compared with patients without NAFLD.In summary,haemorheological disorders are linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver in type 2 diabetes.
