The Effect of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Fibrosis Assessed by FIB-4 and NFS Scores—An 11.6-Year Follow-Up Study

Abstract: Severe obesity is a strong risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery effectively induces weight loss, but few studies have described the long-term effects of RYGB on NAFLD-related fibrosis. Data from 220 patients with severe obesity operated by RYGB in Central Norway were analysed. Variables incorporated in NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS), Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index and anthropometric data were collected before surgery and a mean of 11.6 years postoperatively. … Show more

“…Nascimento et al analyzed changes in NAFLD Fibrosis Score before and after bariatric surgery. The NAFLD Fibrosis Score changed from −0.6845 before the surgery to −1.6898 12 months after the procedure (p < 0.0002), indicating an absence of advanced liver fibrosis in any patient 12 months after the surgery [35] In the above-mentioned study, a weak negative correlation between the decrease in NAFLD Fibrosis Score and weight loss parameters (%EWL (r = −0.251, p < 0.0001) and %TWL (r = −0.280, p < 0.0001)) was observed [37]. In our study, a statistically significant decrease in NAFLD Fibrosis Score was also seen.…”

“…Sandvik et al observed a significant overall shift towards lower risk categories of advanced hepatic fibrosis based on NAFLD Fibrosis Score in 11.6 years of observation (NAFLD Fibrosis Score −1.32 (IQR −2.33; −0.39) vs. −1.71 (IQR −2.49; −0.95, p < 0.001) 11.6 years after surgery). In the above-mentioned study, a weak negative correlation between the decrease in NAFLD Fibrosis Score and weight loss parameters (%EWL (r = −0.251, p < 0.0001) and %TWL (r = −0.280, p < 0.0001)) was observed [ 37 ].
