In this article, 32 experts in gastroenterology, hepatology, endocrinology, and primary care providers, identified the promising approaches for clinical practice and prepared a comprehensive, unified strategy for primary care providers and relevant specialists encompassing the full spectrum of NAFLD/NASH care.

The objective of the cross-sectional study was to investigate the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels with estimated glomerular filtration rate, albuminuria/creatinine ratio and the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in Chinese diabetic adults.

Previous studies found famine exposure was associated with a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and fatty liver in adult women. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the Chinese famine exposure in early life and the thyroid function and nodules in adulthood.

This study was to investigate the effect of age and gender on basal and food-stimulated serum calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, and gastrin levels among healthy adults.

The purpose of this study was to assess the association between famine exposure in early life and osteoporosis in adulthood.

The development of hyperglycemia during parenteral and enteral nutrition therapy increases the risks of hospital-related complications and mortality. This review aims to discuss the pathogenesis of hyperglycemia from artificial nutrition in the hospital, summarize current evidence on the treatment of hyperglycemia with insulin in these patients, and review current guidelines.

The association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and waist circumference is controversial, especially from the perspective of sex differences. We aimed to explore the impact of sex on this relationship in a large Chinese cohort.

The mountainous terrain in the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) in the south Caucasus suggests that it is likely to be endogenously deficient in iodine. Since 2005, iodine is a government-sanctioned compulsory supplemental ingredient in salt in Armenia. However, there has never been a study of iodine nutrition in Artsakh. We sought to determine the level of iodine nutrition in Artsakh and the iodine content of table salt in the region.

It's unclear whether acute weight loss or the chronic trajectory of weight loss after bariatric surgery is associated with long-term type-2 diabetes glycemic improvement. This ancillary study of the STAMPEDE trial aims to answer this question.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether fatty kidney disease deserves to be designated as a distinct clinical entity similar to fatty liver disease.

In the global SUSTAIN clinical trial program, semaglutide demonstrated superior HbA1c and body weight reductions vs comparators. This post hoc analysis compared the proportion of patients achieving combined reductions in glycemia and body weight vs comparators.

This study was to investigate the sex- and age-specific association between the serum uric acid level and the body mass index.

The purpose of this review is to expose the surprising prevalence of diabetes-related complications in people with persistent prediabetes, and hence, to expand the paradigm of diabetes prevention to include the prevention of complications related to both hyperglycemia and obesity.

This study sought to identify provider recommendations and barriers in obesity management in a multi-center academic health system with extensive weight-loss management resources.

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of obesity according to the AACE/ACE framework based on a complications-centric model with further application of the Cardiometabolic Disease Staging system in a Venezuelan population.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in Chinese patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus.

Metformin has an established role in the management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Some patients cannot tolerate it due to associated gastrointestinal adverse events. The present study evaluated the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor sitagliptin as a potential treatment option in metformin-intolerant PCOS.

The aim of this study was to determine the 5-year outcomes of bariatric surgery versus intensive medical therapy on bone turnover in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from the STAMPEDE trial.

AACE and ACE introduce Adiposity-Based Chronic Disease (ABCD) as a new diagnostic term for obesity that identifies a chronic disease, alludes to a precise pathophysiologic basis, and avoids the stigmata and confusion related to the differential use and multiple meanings of the term “obesity.”

Access a wide range of case reports, visual vignettes and commentary from noted endocrinology experts.

Endocrine Practice, our official journal, keeps you on the leading edge of endocrine patient care.

Resulting from the 2014 AACE/ACE Consensus Conference on Obesity, this position statement offers an advanced framework for a new diagnosis of obesity as a chronic disease, a new diagnostic algorithm, and recommendations on the diagnosis and management of obesity.
