From: Association of NAFLD/NASH, and MAFLD/MASLD with chronic kidney disease: an updated narrative review
Figure 1. As analytically discussed in Chapter 3., genetic, liver-related, hemodynamic, metabolic, musculo-skeletal, and intestinal factors may mediate the development of incident CKD among those with NAFLD/MAFLD/MASLD. Additionally, viral hepatitis and alcohol may confer an additional risk of nephrotoxicity among a subset of individuals. CKD: chronic kidney disease; NAFLD: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; MAFLD: metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease; MASLD: metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
