Raised hepatic free fatty acids in a patient with acute fatty liver after gastric surgery for morbid obesity

Abstract

A patient died after gastric surgery for morbid obesity. Necropsy showed severe fatty liver, and biochemical analysis of hepatic lipids showed unusually high free fatty acid concentrations, which may have contributed to the hepatic failure.
