Liver biopsies in 41 grossly obese subjects were evaluated during massive weight reduction (more than 100 lb). The subjects comprised three groups who had been treated by prolonged fasting, low-calorie dieting and intestinal bypass surgery. The first two groups manifested a transient increase in the degree of hepatocellular degeneration and focal necrosis along with progressive diminution of fatty infiltration during acute weight loss. Late follow-up biopsies revealed histologically normal livers. In contrast, bypass surgery was followed, variously, by massive fatty changes, cholestasis, polynuclear inflammatory infiltrates, diffuse fibrosis, bile-duct proliferation and fatal hepatic necrosis. Morphologic changes occurred while liver-function tests were still within normal limits. Follow-up biopsy examinations are the only reliable means of judging whether a bypass procedure is causing progressive parenchymal damage.
