Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Renal Function Impairment: A Cross‐Sectional Population‐Based Study on Its Relationship From 1999 to 2016

Michael H. Le, Yee Hui Yeo, Linda Henry, Mindie H. Nguyen – 29 July 2019 – There is growing evidence that links nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with impairment of renal function.
