Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to examine the association between metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in participants who had undergone cholecystectomy and those who had not undergone cholecystectomy. MAFLD is defined as hepatic steatosis(with ultrasonography) entity in addition to the presence of overweight or obesity, diabetes mellitus, or evidence of metabolic dysfunction. In this way, the long-term effects of cholecystectomy surgeries, which are commonly performed in the society and thought to be harmless, will be evaluated.

Description:

Cholecystectomy is known to be a harmless operation with low perioperative mortality and morbidity. However, the unexplained increase in metabolic disorders in cholecystectomy patients has led to the need for further investigation of cholecystectomy patients. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is an important health problem with an average prevalence of 25% worldwide and serious hepatic and systemic complications. The aim of this study was to examine the association of cholecystectomy with metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which is an important public health problem in the long-term. This case-controlled cross-sectional study was planned to evaluate the relationship between patients who had undergone cholecystectomy with MAFLD. MAFLD is defined as hepatic steatosis entity in addition to the presence of overweight or obesity, diabetes mellitus, or evidence of metabolic dysfunction. The study included 86 participants with cholecystectomy and 63 participants without cholecystectomy. It was planned to compare the participants according to the diagnostic criteria for MAFLD (with or without MAFLD).
