MAFLD and NAFLD in the prediction of incident chronic kidney disease

Abstract Whether metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) can replace nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is under debate. This study evaluated which definition better predicted incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). This was a 5.3-year (range, 2.8–8.3) retrospective cohort...

description Abstract Whether metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) can replace nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is under debate. This study evaluated which definition better predicted incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). This was a 5.3-year (range, 2.8–8.3) retrospective cohort study of 21,713 adults who underwent at least two serial health examinations. Cox analyses were used to compare the risk of incident CKD among non-fatty liver disease (FLD) without metabolic dysregulation (MD; reference), non-FLD with MD, MAFLD-only, NAFLD-only, or both-FLD groups. Non-FLD with MD group (hazard ratio [HR] 1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00–1.53), both-FLD group (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.19–1.89), and MAFLD-only group (HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.49–2.60), but not NAFLD-only group (HR 1.06, 95% CI 0.63–1.79) demonstrated an increased risk of CKD. The increased risk of CKD was significant in MAFLD subgroups with overweight/obesity (HR 2.94, 95% CI 1.91–4.55), diabetes (HR 2.20, 95% CI 1.67–2.90), MD only (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.19–1.89), excessive alcohol consumption (HR 2.71, 95% CI 2.11–3.47), and viral hepatitis (HR 2.38, 95% CI 1.48–3.84). The switch from NAFLD to MAFLD criteria may identify a greater number of individuals at CKD risk. The association was also significant in MAFLD patients with excessive alcohol consumption or viral hepatitis.
