Endoscopic duodenal mucosal resurfacing improves glycaemic and hepatic indices in type 2 diabetes: 6-month multicentre results

摘要

Insulin resistance is a core pathophysiological defect underscoring type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Both conditions improve with duodenal exclusion surgery. Duodenal mucosal resurfacing (DMR) is an endoscopic intervention developed to treat metabolic disease which has been shown to improve glycaemia in patients with poorly controlled T2DM. Herein, we aimed to further analyse the effects of DMR on hepatic and metabolic parameters in this patient cohort.
