The Franciscus Obesity NASH Study

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) changes in terms of steatosis and elasticity in patients with morbid obesity 1, 3 and 5 years after bariatric surgery.

In addition, genomics, microbiome and metabolomics analyses will be carried out.

Conditions

  • NAFLD
  • NASH - Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
  • Obesity, Morbid

Intervention / Treatment

  • Diagnostic Test: NASH screening
  • Diagnostic Test: Cardiac dysfunction screening
  • Diagnostic Test: Liver biopsy

Primary Outcome Measures

  • Change from baseline in liver steatosis (in decibel/meter) 5 years after bariatric surgery (baseline (enrolment) and 5 years after bariatric surgery)
    Transient elastography is a non invasive test evaluating liver steatosis
  • Change from baseline in liver fibrosis (in kilopascal) 5 years after bariatric surgery (baseline (enrolment) and 5 years after bariatric surgery)
    Transient elastography is a non invasive test evaluating liver fibrosis
