Bariatric Endoscopy and NAFLD

Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Obesity
NAFLD
Liver Steatosis
Liver Fibrosis
Interventions
Procedure: bariatric endoscopy, mainly intragastric balloons, plication of the stomach too
Registration Number
NCT04895943
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Ostrava
Brief Summary

Find out how bariatric endoscopy will influence the clinical course of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Detailed Description

The study will test and investigate the impact of bariatric endoscopy (various types of intragastric balloons, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, aspiration therapy) on components of the metabolic syndrome in obese patients, especially on influencing non-alcoholic steatosis and steatohepatitis and signs of liver fibrotization and weight reduction. The method consists of performing a mini-invasive endoscopic procedure and, as a result, reduced food intake.
