Abstract
Chronic mild elevations of liver function tests especially alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are seen in type 2 diabetes patients. The study aims to find an association between the Liver Function test and Liver/spleen Hounsfield Units on CT scan Among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Type 2. The study was conducted in the Medical Imaging Department - CT scan department in Jeddah Hospitals. The cases were retrospectively studied from the reviewed database of all patients who had undergone abdominal CT examinations from March 2018 to March 2020. 50 diabetic patients were selected randomly with different Male (26) and females (24) there aged between 31-80 years old. Form our results Elevated ALT was significantly associated with overweight, short duration of diabetes, poor glycemic control, and those treated with diet control or oral agents. there a high level of AST in DM patients with type 2 in liver HU in segment 3 had mean and std deviation was 50.67 +/- 1.155 HU, on spleen 59.33 +/- 1.155 HU while pancreas was the lower one 42.67 +/- 2.082 HU. Individuals with type 2 diabetes have a higher incidence of LFT abnormalities in liver enzymes. Liver enzyme abnormalities associated with CT finding the typically present elevation of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) relative to alkaline phosphatase (ALP).
