Abstract:
Body weight and body mass index (BMI) to be simply measured and analyzed are most common methods to assess the effect of bariatric surgery. In addition, measurement of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues by imaging technique has been adapted as a kind of anthropometrics. After bariatric surgery, obese patients with metabolic disorder are tested by conventional parameters such as fasting blood glucose, blood lipid panel, insulin level and blood pressure. Recently, the adipokines associated with inflammation, such as high-sensitive C-reactive protein and adiponectin, are accepted as new measure of follow-up examination. In this review, various measurement parameters, from anthropometrics to cytokine, to assess the effect of bariatric surgery are introduced, so that bariatric surgeons could keep in mind its significance in Korea where bariatric surgery is still unpopular.
