Abstract
the bypass surgery. All biopsies were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson trichrome stains, then examined by a single pathologist, blinded to patients' identification and the sites of liver biopsies, for steatosis, inflammation, ballooning, fibrosis, and NAFLD activity score (NAS). Results:Thirty-one patients, all females, age: 21-56, with BMI of 36-48 kg/m2 were enrolled. Histopathologic features of NAFLD in biopsies from the right and left lobes were compared. Agreement for steatosis was 100%, inflammation 92%, ballooning 54%, fibrosis 100%, and NAFLD activity score ≥5, was 100% (table 1, Fig. 1). Conclusion: This study documented high agreement between biopsies from right and left lobes of the liver in relation to steatosis, and fibrosis in morbidly obese patients. Table. Histopathologic features of NAFLD in the 2 Lobes of liver and probability of agreement.
