Comment on: histologic improvement of NAFLD in patients with obesity after bariatric surgery based on standardized NAS (NAFLD activity score)

The article by Sch önfels et al., “Histologic improvement of NAFLD in patients with obesity after bariatric surgery based on standardized NAS (NAFLD activity score),” adds to our understanding of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), its relationship to obesity, and the effects of various bariatric procedure s on such obesity-related conditions. In 2005, Kleiner et al. [1] described the nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) activity score (NAS), a tool originally intended to quantify changes in NAFLD in patients undergoing therapeutic trials.
