Abstract
The effects of bariatric procedures on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remain unclear. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to compare the impact of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on NAFLD/NASH. Patients submitted to RYGB presented significant reduction of steatohepatitis (RD: 0.53; 95% CI 0.33 to 0.74) and fibrosis (RD: 0.26; 95% CI 0.14 to 0.37). SG caused a significant reduction of steatohepatitis (RD: 0.42; 95% CI 0.27 to 0.57), but not of fibrosis (RD: 0.20; 95% CI -0.00 to 0.39). The NAFLD Activity Score was significantly improved after both procedures, as well as biochemical tests. No difference was found between RYGB and SG regarding the histopathological outcomes. SG and RYGB are equivalently effective for treating NAFLD/NASH.Entities:
