Overview

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with non- Alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, gastric bypass surgery is recommended in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease whose BMI is greater than 40 who psychologically stable and failed medical therapy.

Surgery

Indications

  • Patients with NAFLD and BMI greater than 40 who psychologically stable
  • In patients who failed medical therapy.

Surgical options

  • The size of the stomach is reduced either by stapling or banding, creating a small pouch, assisting with weight loss by inducing
  • The feasibility of liver transplantation depends on the stage of NAFLD at diagnosis.NAFLD is emerging as the second most common cause for liver transplant.[4][5]
    • Indication 1 End stage liver-disease 
    • Indication 2 Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are the two most important indications for the liver transplant.
    • Outcome : After liver transplanation patients with or without NASH may survive 1,3 and 5 years and are increasinly at risk for cardio vascular risks.[6]
