The craniocaudal (CC) length of the right lobe of the liver (RLL), liver texture, size of the main portal vein, and hemodynamics of the hepatic artery, were sonographically evaluated in female diabetic and non-diabetic patients. A One-way ANOVA, a Tukey's post-hoc test, and a Kruskal-Wallis with post-hoc Dunn's test, were employed. Non-symptomatic differences in liver anatomy were detected among non-controlled type 2 diabetes patients. They exhibited the longest CC length of the RLL (p = 0.04) as well as an enlarged main portal vein (p = 0.04). Hepatic artery resistive index (RI) was higher among controlled type 2 diabetes patients (p = 0.04). These differences were not attributed to fatty infiltration. Non-controlled type 2 diabetes patients exhibited significantly higher alanine aminotransferase, lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and higher triglyceride levels, than in non-type 2 diabetes patients. Longitudinal sonography may provide valuable diagnostic information in the management of type 2 diabetes.
