Whereas nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multisystem disease, the association between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and extra-hepatic diseases is not known. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with either MAFLD or NAFLD, and then to examine the association between the presence and severity of MAFLD and CKD and abnormal albuminuria. ⋯ MAFLD identifies patients with CKD better than NAFLD. MAFLD and MAFLD with increased liver fibrosis score are strongly and independently associated with CKD and abnormal albuminuria.
