How Can Bariatric Surgery Help in Curing NAFLD?
Obesity is a chronic condition that develops progressively and worsens with time. It is one of the major Non-communicable diseases. It impacts the organs, body functioning and many more. Several hormonal imbalances can occur that impact the bodily systems. The organ’s functioning capacity is reduced due to obesity.
The accumulated fats interfere with the hormones that impair the blood sugars, lipid profile, and biochemical parameters. Liver, kidneys, and heart functioning is compromised. There is constant inflammation inside the body, leading to impaired functioning and deteriorating health. Inflamed liver is one of the major conditions that occurs due to obesity.
Inflammation, fibrosis, necrosis are the stages that occur in fatty liver disease. Apart from alcohol abuse there are others that contribute to fatty liver disease. Impaired blood sugars, dyslipidemia, increased body weight. These are some of the common problems that can lead to fatty liver. A fatty liver will further worsen the health of an individual. Liver becomes a fat synthesis machine that increases the adiposity. This inflamed liver puts pressure on the stomach, several common symptoms like acidity, vomiting, acidity, indigestion occur. These signs seem to be very harmless. Yet once the condition of the liver worsens it can further lead to organ failure. We can see that fat accumulation and obesity is one of the major concerns.
Obesity being one of the major cause of NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)
Research shows that bariatric surgery is one of the most effective treatments for obesity. Body mass index (BMI) is a useful tool to identify the weight status. If you fall in the BMI range above 30 bariatric surgery would be the only long-term solution.
There are different types of surgeries available in bariatric procedures. The weight loss can range from 25-40 kg in a span of merely 6-8 months. The extra fat that a person develops over the years is burned down to provide energy. Once the ideal body weight is achieved, the individual can lead a healthier life. With appropriate nutritional care and lifestyle modifications, several lifestyle diseases are controlled and managed.
With progressive weight loss, liver functioning improves. The body stabilises in terms of hormonal balance and improved metabolism.
Though the damage to the liver is not completely reversible in the end stages, yet with prior attention to deteriorating liver health can be stopped with weight loss and lifestyle changes.
