Abstract
It is now increasingly apparent that the global health burden of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is wide reaching. NAFLD not only affects the liver, but also the risk of developing cardio- vascular disease and other extra-hepatic diseases that have a con- siderable impact on health care resources.1–3 Recently, the possible link between NAFLD and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has attracted considerable scientific interest.4 Indeed, NAFLD and CKD share many cardiometabolic risk factors and common bidirectional pathways.4
