Introduction: Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) has a prevalence of 40-50% in adults. Given what we know about metabolic liver disease, studies are needed to assess whether CFRD is also related to steatosis (LS) and liver fibrosis (LF).
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of LS and LF by magnetic resonance elastography (Mre) in a cohort of adults with CFRD. Secondary: to determine the diagnostic yield of transitional elastography (Fibroscan®) and the factors associated with both entities.
Methods: Cross-sectional study of adults with CFRD in a multidisciplinary unit. Clinical evaluation, morphofunctional assessment, MRe, transitional elastography and noninvasive markers were performed. Quantitative variables are expressed as n(%); qualitative variables as P50(P25-P75). Diagnostic accuracy tests were performed. Logistic regression was performed to study risk factors.
Results: n=28. Women=15(53.6%). Age=34(28.7-40.5)years. Time of evolution=28(19.5-34)years. Malnutrition(GLIM)=15(53.6%). Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency=26(92.9%). BMI=23.2(19.7-24.5)kg/m². Insulin treatment=20(71.4%). The prevalence of LS was 25% and of LF 32.1%. In Fibroscan® it was 28.6% (71.4% sensitivity and 85.7% specificity) and 17.9% (55.5% sensitivity and 100% specificity) respectively. The AUROC of the Fibroscan® was 0.915(0.81-1) in HD and 0.936(0.838-1) in FH. We did not find any factors associated with LS. Those associated with LF are shown in the Table. Multivariate analysis could not be performed due to the low sample size.

Conclusions: This is the first study of LS and LF in adults with CFRD performed with MRe. The prevalence was 25% and 31.1% respectively. FibroScan® demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy. Alterations in blood count and transaminases, as well as fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies seem to be associated with increased risk of LF.
