Due to the increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes worldwide, the overall incidence and prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is expected to increase. Risk factors for NAFLD are associated with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This article discusses the epidemiology, risk factors, genetics, and specific pathogenetic mechanisms linking NAFLD with CKD: ectopic lipid accumulation, cellular signaling disorders, the relationship between fructose consumption and uric acid accumulation, etc. The possibilities of early diagnosis of these pathological conditions using fluorescence organoscopy are discussed.
