About this trial

This is a prospective, multicenter cohort study, which subjects were obese patients requiring bariatric surgery.

This study aims to explore the the effectiveness of bariatric surgery for NAFLD/NASH with fribrosis, to explore the differences in the effectiveness among sleeve gastrostomy \[SG\], Roux-en-Y gastric bypass \[RYGB\], or one anastomosis gastric bypass \[OAGB\], and to explore the independent effectiveness of bariatric surgery in histological remission of NAFLD/NASH.

The first stage of the cohort was started in 2020, named Base-NAFLD; In May 2024, based on Base-NAFLD, we plan to continue established a secondary cohort, named Base-NASH.
