Cholecystectomy and NAFLD: Does Gallbladder Removal Have Metabolic Consequences

Cholecystectomy and NAFLD: Does Gallbladder Removal Have Metabolic Consequences? Article (PDF Available)  in The American Journal of Gastroenterology108(6):959-61 · June 2013 with 940 Reads DOI: 10.1038/ajg.2013.84} · Sourc Abstract: Pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) disease and gallbladder (GB) disease secondary to cholesterol gallstones is complex, yet both conditions share similar associated risk factors, most of them related to the metabolic syndrome. Cholecystectomy, the best treatment for GB disease, is […]

Abnormalities of lipid metabolism, gallstone disease and gallbladder function

“Recent evidence supports the hypothesis that cholecystectomy may not be innocuous and that the GB has a significant role in the regulation of hepatic triglyceride metabolism. This article provides information regarding recent advances in the understanding of the interaction between regulation of lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, gallstone disease and GB function.”   Gallstone disease is highly prevalent with […]
