Abstract
Nowadays, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the first causes of liver transplant worldwide; many efforts have been done to find the perfect drug for this multifactorial disease. Presently we just have a few drugs that could be used in specific and limited clinical scenarios. Current evidence suggests that bariatric endoscopic and surgical therapies could be strategies with optimal outcomes, with high impact in quality of life, decrease of cardiovascular risk, and improvement in metabolic profile, despite being considered expensive procedures. This review proposes to consider these therapies early together with liver fibrosis evaluation, with long term cost-effectiveness benefits in the absence of response to lifestyle modifications and pharmacological treatments.

Abstract
The obesity epidemic has caused a surge in the use of bariatric surgery. Although surgery-induced weight loss is an effective treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, it may precipitate severe hepatic complications under certain circumstances. Acute liver injury (ALI) and acute liver failure (ALF) following bariatric surgery have been reported in several case series. Although rare, ALI and ALF tend to emerge several months after bariatric surgery. If so, it can result in prolonged hospitalization, may necessitate liver transplantation, and in some cases prove fatal. However, little is known about the risk factors for developing ALI or ALF after bariatric surgery and the mechanisms of liver damage in this context are poorly defined. This review provides an account of the available data on ALI and ALF caused by bariatric surgery, with emphasis on potential injury mechanisms and the outcomes of liver transplantation for ALF after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Weight reduction can effectively improve nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is a constant companion of severe obesity. This study aimed to determine the effect of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) on pathological liver changes in severely obese cases with NAFLD. METHODS The present prospective research comprised 67 subjects with morbid obesity scheduled for OAGB during the period from February 2015 to August 2018. Clinical, biological, and histologic data were evaluated pre and 15 months postoperatively. RESULTS Fifteen months after surgery, a considerable reduction was noted in the grades of fat deposition, liver cell ballooning, and lobular inflammatory changes, in addition to the total NAS score. Fifteen months after surgery, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) disappeared in 42% of the patients. A significant regression of fibrosis stage occurred after surgery in 79.1% of patients (p < 0.001). After surgery, patients had substantial reductions in aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltransferase, HbA1c, total cholesterol, and Low-density lipoprotein (p < 0.001, for all comparisons). Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia resolved in 54%, 59%, and 69% of the patients, respectively. CONCLUSION OAGB resolved NASH from nearly 42% of patients and reduced the histological features of NAFLD 15 months after surgery. Bariatric procedures might be adopted as a therapeutic modality in severely obese cases with NAFLD after the failure of lifestyle modifications.

Longitudinal Comparison of the Effect of Gastric Bypass to Sleeve Gastrectomy on Liver Function in a Bariatric Cohort: Tehran Obesity Treatment Study (TOTS). Obes Surg 2020; 29:511-518.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with morbid obesity commonly have fatty liver disease and elevated liver enzymes. While surgery effectively induces weight loss, bariatric techniques may differ regarding liver function improvement. OBJECTIVES To evaluate and compare the trends of liver function recovery after gastric bypass surgery (GB) with sleeve gastrectomy (SG). SETTING University hospitals, Iran. METHODS Adult bariatric candidates without a history of alcohol consumption or other etiologies of liver disease who underwent SG (n = 682) or GB (n = 355) were included. Trends of weight loss parameters and alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) at 0, 6 (in 90.4%), 12 (in 83.5%), and 24 months (in 67.1%) were compared using generalized estimating equations method. RESULTS Overall, 1037 patients with mean age of 38.4 ± 11.2 and mean body mass index of 44.9 ± 6.2 kg/m2 were analyzed. Seventy-eight percent of patients had fatty liver by ultrasound. Both GB and SG patients lost significant weight, with GB patients having a higher percentage of excess weight loss at 24 months (80.1% vs. 75.9%, Pbetween-group = .008). SG patients showed more favorable trends in liver chemistries with significantly lower ALT at 12 months and AST and ALP levels at 6 and 12 months. However, the two groups were comparable at 24 months. Significantly more GB patients developed high ALT at 6 and high AST at 6 and 12 months. Undergoing GB was associated with smaller 0-12-month changes in ALT, AST, and ALP. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery resulted in improvement in liver function parameters, with SG showing advantages over GB in the first postoperative year.

[PMID: 30922792 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2019.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2018] [Revised: 03/04/2019] [Accepted: 03/10/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) has been accepted as an effective treatment for morbid obesity. However, data are scarce regarding nutritional implications of this procedure. Thus, our aim was to describe the health and nutritional status 12-20 months following OAGB surgery. METHODS A prospective cohort study on patients who underwent OAGB surgery from January 2016 to May 2017 in a large, multi-disciplinary, bariatric clinic. Pre-surgery data including demographic details, anthropometrics, co-morbidities, blood tests and lifestyle habits were obtained from the patients' medical records. Follow-up evaluations were performed 12-20 months post-surgery and data collected included anthropometrics, blood tests, eating and lifestyle parameters, adherence to follow-up regime and gastrointestinal (GI) related side effects. In addition, patients were asked to rate their overall state of health (OSH) from 0 to 100 using a visual analogue scale (VAS). RESULTS Eighty-six OAGB patients (72.1% women) were tested 14.7 ± 2.0 months post-operatively. Their mean age and BMI preoperatively were 46.1 ± 11.4 years and 42.0 ± 4.9 kg/m2, respectively. The mean % excess weight loss at 12-20 months postoperatively was 88.4 ± 19.3%. Lipid and glucose profiles were significantly improved at 12-20 months postoperatively compared to baseline (P < 0.001 for all). Relatively high proportions of nutritional deficiencies were found pre-operatively and postoperatively for iron (33.9% vs. 23.7%, P = 0.238), folate (30.9% vs. 11.8%, P = 0.004), vitamin D (56.6% vs. 17.0%, P < 0.001) and hemoglobin (16.7% vs. 42.9%, P < 0.001). Postoperatively, most participants reported taking multivitamin, calcium, vitamin D and vitamin B12 supplementation (≥62.8%), having participated in at least 6 meetings with a dietitian (51.8%) and presently doing physical activity (69.4%). The mean postoperative OSH VAS score was 88.2 ± 12.3, but most participants reported on flatulence (67.4%) and some reported on diarrhea (25.6%) as GI side effects of the surgery. CONCLUSIONS Substantial improvements in health and anthropometric parameters are found in the short-term follow-up after OAGB, with a satisfactory reported quality of life and adherence to recommendations. However, a high prevalence of some GI side effects, nutritional deficiencies and specially anemia is a matter of concern.
