Key result
Bariatric surgery lacks consensus on effectiveness and safety for treating NAFLD.
Why the study?
There is no consensus on the effectiveness and safety of bariatric operations in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Do bariatric operations improve the course of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease?
Do bariatric operations improve the course of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease?
The effectiveness and safety of bariatric surgery for NAFLD treatment remains unclear, highlighting the need for randomized controlled trials.
Insufficient evidence precludes recommending bariatric surgery for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; leaves open the need for definitive trials.
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of bariatric operations on the course of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and determine the possibility of using non-invasive diagnostic methods for NAFLD. Material and methods . The published data review of the NAFLD dynamics after bariatric surgery. Results. Currently there is no common opinion on the effectiveness and safety of bariatric operations in NAFLD treatment. Conclusion . Further research and randomized controlled clinical study are needed.
