Hepatic Effects of Gastric Bypass Surgery
Long Term Hepatic Effects of Gastric Bypass Surgery
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Before or on the day of surgery liver function will be determined using the DDG-2001 Analyzer. This monitor is able to detect the concentration of a dye called indocyanine green dye (ICG) when present in the blood stream. A dose of 0.5 mg/kg of ICG will be injected into an IV in the arm. Over approximately fifteen minutes the DDG-2001 Analyzer will determine how quickly the liver removes the dye ICG from the blood stream. This value represents how well the liver is functioning. Blood samples are drawn before injection of ICG to measure liver function using standard liver function tests.
This same routine for injecting ICG and obtaining blood for routine liver function tests will happen one more time, after surgery, once the subject has lost a significant amount of the original weight (60% of excess weight). This amount of weight loss typically occurs between 12 to 18 months after gastric bypass surgery. This second ICG measurement will occur during an outpatient follow-up visit to CCF.
A biopsy will be taken from the liver during surgery. A second biopsy taken after the 60% weight loss will be compared to determine the effect of this surgery on the liver.

ICG-k value is the slope of the decay curve of the serum ICG clearance graph, which is used to assess the liver function as it represents the rate of disappearance of ICG from blood as the liver exclusively distracts it.
The lower k value means a lower rate of ICG clearance, indicating a worse liver function.

Number of Subjects of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NAS Steatosis)
Time Frame: when patients lost 60% of their preoperative excess weight or weight loss had plateaued.
|
To compare the distribution of NAS steatosis stage from before surgery to when patients lost 60% of their preoperative excess weight or weight loss had plateaued.
The NAFLD activity score (NAS) from the NASH clinical Clinic Research Network is the unweighted sum of scores for steatosis, lobular inflammation, and ballooning hepatocyte degeneration, and ranges from zero to eight points.
The histological reporting for grading steatosis was based on a scale of 0 to 3, with 0 being no steatosis (<5%), 1 being mild steatosis (involving 5-33% of the biopsy specimen), 2 being moderate steatosis (involving 34-66% of the specimen), and 3 being severe (involving >66%).
