description

  • Liver cirrhosis, a complex and progressive disease, imposes a significant global health burden, characterized by irreversible liver tissue scarring and various life-threatening complications. Traditionally linked to factors like chronic alcohol consumption and viral hepatitis infections, the rising prevalence of obesity introduces a new dimension to its etiology. As obesity rates continue to climb worldwide, the confluence of liver cirrhosis and bariatric surgery has become an increasingly pertinent and clinically relevant topic of inquiry.
