Postoperative course. The postoperative course from immediately before surgery to the present is shown. The top row shows AST/ALT levels, total cholesterol, albumin, and weight. The bottom row shows medications that are used. The AST/ALT levels are elevated again at readmission after recovery from acute postoperative elevation. It has progressively reduced with the diagnosis and initiation of treatment for NAFLD. The total cholesterol level decreased after the surgery, and after the lowest value of 94 mg/dL at the time of readmission. It was restored to the normal range one year after the surgery following the diagnosis of NAFLD and initiation of treatment. Albumin levels remain unchanged, except for in the acute postoperative period. The patient’s weight is 30.3 kg immediately preoperatively, but decreased to 25.4 kg on readmission. Subsequently, with the diagnosis of NAFLD and initiation of treatment, she recovered to her preoperative weight.
