Gene polymorphism of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in combination with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract

The course of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is often associated with various diseases affecting organs and systems of the body such as cardiovascular, reproductive, hepatobiliary systems, etc. The subject of our study is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, since both of these diseases have many common pathogenetic elements as well as genetically individualized risks of occurrence. The presented studies allow a deeper understanding of genetically individualized risks, which will contribute to more effective therapeutic practice.

The objective of research is to analyze actual literature data, whose research subject is the treatment of T2DM in conjunction with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in order to study the polymorphism of genes that determine the development of these diseases.

Material and methods. In writing this review were used clinical records based on foreign and domestic studies. In order to find the literature data were used resources such as PubMed, Willey, eLIBRARY, Web of Science, Lancet.

Results. In the review are presented the current views on the diagnosis, treatment and the assessment of the disease's severity and the following therapy of T2DM in combination with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease taking into account genetically individualized risks as well as was analyzed the tactics of therapy for this group of patients.

Conclusion. The result of the current domestic and foreign publications review is the confirmation of the importance of adequate patient`s therapy with T2DM in combination with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The problem of genetically individualized risks is an active subject of research, which makes it possible to expect fundamentally new pharmacological methods of management of this category of patients.
