Comparison of Hepatic Profile in Pre and Postoperative of Bariatric Surgery: Private vs Public Network

Abstract: Background: Obesity is associated to several comorbidities, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which implicates in isolated steatosis to steatohepatitis. The latter may progress to severe manifestations such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Aim: To compare the presence of advanced liver fibrosis before and after bariatric surgery in patients of private and public health system. Methods: Patients from public and privative networks were studied before and after bariatric surger… Show more

“…Two recent meta-analyses have reported that RYGB had a positive effect on NAFLD after short- to mid-term follow-up time of 1–60 months, with improvement or resolution of histological steatosis and steatohepatitis in the majority of patients, as well as resolution of fibrosis in 28–51% [ 12 , 13 ]. Importantly, studies assessing resolution of liver fibrosis after RYGB with NFS and/or FIB-4 have found improvement in agreement with studies using biopsies [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. The proportion of patients with a low postoperative fibrosis score was similar in our population to that in studies with shorter follow-up times [ 11 , 12 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

“…Liver fibrosis scores improved after surgery in the present study. Nascimento et al [ 23 ] also found an improved NAFLD fibrosis score 12 months after bariatric surgery. Several studies have shown good validity for APRI and FIB-4 scores in detecting liver fibrosis [ 18 24 ].…”
