Patients undergoing bariatric surgery have a high incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the effect of NAFLD or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) on the weight loss and resolution of obesity-related disorders is a matter of debate.
In this study, we compare the long-term outcomes after bariatric with the presence of NAFLD in the liver biopsy at the time of surgery.
The follow-up was available for 226 out of 288 patients. The mean follow-up time was 24.9 (± 13.6) months. The baseline histology showed that 112 patients (38.9%) had no NASH, 70 (24.3%) were borderline, and 106 (36.8%) had NASH. At follow-up, the mean BMI dropped from (52 ± 10.2) to (36.6 ± 8) kg/m . Excess weight loss (EWL) was similar in all NAFLD groups. Type 2 diabetes mellitus dropped from 35.7 to 11.4%, hypertension from 65.6 to 36.7%, hyperlipidemia from 62.3 to 33%, and obstructive sleep apnea from 37.5 to 14.9%. Only hyperlipidemia was significantly associated with NASH compared to the groups with no NASH or borderline NASH (p value = 0.002 and p value = 0.04, respectively) during the first two years of follow-up.
The beneficial effects of bariatric surgery are evident across all patients with NAFLD. Patients with NASH have comparable outcomes regarding weight loss and resolution of obesity-related comorbidities.
接受减重手术的患者非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)发病率很高。然而,NAFLD 或非酒精性脂肪性肝炎(NASH)对减肥和解决肥胖相关疾病的影响仍存在争议。
本研究比较了手术时肝活检存在 NAFLD 的患者与无 NAFLD 的患者在接受减重手术后的长期结果。
288 例患者中有 226 例可获得随访。平均随访时间为 24.9(±13.6)个月。基线组织学显示,112 例(38.9%)患者无 NASH,70 例(24.3%)为边界性,106 例(36.8%)有 NASH。随访时,平均 BMI 从(52±10.2)kg/m²降至(36.6±8)kg/m²。所有 NAFLD 组的体重减轻程度相似。2 型糖尿病从 35.7%降至 11.4%,高血压从 65.6%降至 36.7%,高脂血症从 62.3%降至 33%,阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停从 37.5%降至 14.9%。只有高脂血症与无 NASH 或边界性 NASH 组相比,在随访的前两年与 NASH 显著相关(p 值分别为 0.002 和 0.04)。
减重手术的有益效果在所有 NAFLD 患者中均明显。NASH 患者在减肥和解决肥胖相关合并症方面的结局相似。
