P-80 SEVERELY OBESE PATIENTS HAD HEPATIC FIBROSIS EVEN WITHOUT METABOLIC SYNDROME

Introduction

Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) is a clinic-pathological condition commonly associated with metabolic syndrome (MS) and this association is frequently found in severely obese.

Objective

To compare clinical and histological characteristics of MAFLD in obese with and without MS.

Methodology

Cross-sectional study with severely obese patients diagnosed with MAFLD between Sep/2014 and May/2015. MAFLD was diagnosed by liver biopsy during bariatric surgery. MS diagnosis was based on the International Diabetes Federation criteria. Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square and t tests. P<0.05 were considered significant.

Results

Table 1 shows clinical and histological characteristics of the patients according to the presence of MS.

Conclusion

The results reinforce the relevance of evaluating NAFLD in severely obese by histology. In this simple of obese with MAFLD had hepatic fibrosis, even those without MS.
