We have found a significant association between adipose tissue accumulation in liver and kidney and the parameters of metabolic syndrome. Moreover, the presence of a strong association between kidney and liver fat accumulation and kidney function parameters such as urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio and eGFR may be an indicator of the clinical significance of parenchymal fat accumulation.
