Effects of surgical treatment of the metabolic syndrome on liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
Abstract
Background Both weight loss and gastrointestinal surgery for obesity can cause liver disease, making their role in the treatment of obesity-related liver disease controversial. Methods Six hundred eighty-nine severely obese women (n=551) and men (n=138), BMI=47+/-9 kg.m(-2) (mean+/-SD), without known liver disease, underwent biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) with liver biopsy. Fourteen patients (2%) had cryptogenic cirrhosis, 11 of whom underwent multiple repeat biopsies. After 38+/-18 kg weight loss, 104 of the 689 patients underwent routine second biopsies during reoperations 41+/-25 months after BPD. All biopsy specimens were graded for steatosis, fibrosis, and inflammation by a blinded hepatopathologist. Results All 689 patients lost weight accompanied by improvements in the metabolic syndrome. Among the 104 patients who underwent reoperation, severe fibrosis (grade 3-5) decreased in 28 whereas mild fibrosis (grade 1-2) appeared in 42. Increased fibrosis was related to low-normal serum albumin, uncontrolled diarrhea, low intake of alcohol, and menopausal status. Fibrosis and inflammation decreased over time (P<.01). The 11 patients with cirrhosis exhibited decreased fibrosis from a mean grade 5 to grade 3, as well as reduced inflammation, Mallory bodies, and glycogenated nuclei. Seven patients had disappearance and 2 regression of nodules and fibrous bridging. Conclusions The metabolic syndrome of obesity is a determinant of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, treatable by substantial weight loss after malabsorptive surgery.

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.
