Bariatric Surgery in NAFLD

Chauhan, Mahak, Singh, Kuldeep, Thuluvath, Paul J.·2022·Digestive Diseases and Sciences

Abstract

Currently, there are no approved medications to treat patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with fibrosis or cirrhosis. Although the management goal in these patients is weight reduction by 7-10% with lifestyle modifications, only less than 10% of patients achieve this target at 1-year, and fewer maintain the weight loss at 5 years. Bariatric surgery is an option that may be considered in those who fail to lose weight by lifestyle changes. Bariatric surgery has been shown to improve liver histology including fibrosis secondary to NASH, in addition to other benefits including an improvement or resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, and a reduction of cardiovascular morbidity or mortality. There are no guidelines of bariatric surgery indications for the management of NASH. The purpose of this review is to critically appraise the current knowledge of the role of bariatric surgery and the potential mechanisms for its perceived benefits in the management of patients with NASH-related liver disease.

  • Studies have shown that while NASH resolution was achieved in the majority of patients after bariatric surgery, a considerable number were still found with histologically advanced fibrosis despite NASH resolution.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
