Weight Loss and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Falls In Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase Concentrations are Associated with Histologic Improvement
Abstract
Background The ability for aminotransferase levels to track histological features of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with weight loss has not been examined. Methods We examined the effect of weight loss following laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery on the histological features of NAFLD and plasma aminotransferase concentrations (AST, ALT and GGT) in 60 (12M, 48F) selected severely obese patients. All 120 paired biopsies were de-identified and scored for lobular steatosis, fibrosis, inflammation, Mallory bodies and NASH. Results 30 patients (50%) had baseline histological features of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Repeat biopsies were taken at 29.5+/-10 months after baseline. Mean weight loss was 31.5+/-18 kg. There were improvements in AST, ALT, GGT, lobular steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis between baseline and follow-up (P<0.001 for all). Only 6 (10%) of repeat biopsies showed NASH. No change in aminotransferase concentrations predicted the change in steatosis, but changes in AST and GGT predicted improved scores for inflammation, fibrosis, Mallory bodies and NASH. The lowering of GGT best predicted the improvements in inflammation, fibrosis and NASH. Conclusion With weight loss, falls in GGT and, to a lesser extent, in AST, are predictive of improved lobular inflammation and fibrosis, key prognostic features of NAFLD.

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.
