Non-alcoholic steatopathy of the liver (NAFLD) is strongly associated with different components of the metabolic syndrome, including type 2 diabetes.The aim of our study is to determine the epidemio-clinical causality of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in 38 type 2 diabetic patients at the University Clinics of Kinshasa and the general characteristics.The prevalence of non-alcoholic steatopathy in our study population is 89.5%, it represents the second most frequent cause of hepatic steatosis: 47.1% of cases, while in 52.6% of cases steatosis is related to alcoholism.Diabetic patients with NAFLD are more male with a mean age of 58.2 years and mostly obese (60.5%) and married with a higher or university education.The search for hepatic steatosis in type 2 diabetic patients should be systematic, because of its high prevalence in this population, its treatment is based essentially on hygienic-dietetic rules, several studies are underway to evaluate different therapeutics on NAFLD.
