Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery Predicts an Improvement in the Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Fibrosis Score
2019
Purpose
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is present in up to 90% of bariatric surgery patients. Previous literature has demonstrated an improvement in liver steatosis and fibrosis in post-bariatric surgery patients. Our study aims to investigate if bariatric surgery results in an improvement in NAFLD fibrosis scores, and if this correlates with weight loss.
