BackgroundNonalcoholic fatty liver disease incidence is related to the presence of obesity and insulin resistance. A treatment of this disease in patients with morbid obesity is bariatric surgery and its diagnosis is extremely important due to the possible progression to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. The development of clinical-laboratorial analysis tools to this disease and its complications is necessary as the gold standard for its diagnosis is an invasive procedure. The objective of the study is to evaluate the use of BARD score in the selection of patients who should undergo liver biopsy during bariatric surgery.
