Exchange liver transplant: exchanging directed living donors between recipients. 👬 👫 🔀 👭 👫 Incredible experience coming from Turkey ! #TLM25 @aasldnews.bsky.social

@intmedatiowa.bsky.social Iowa Liver team is rocking it in DC! 💪 #TLM25 @aasldnews.bsky.social

So excited to be in Washington DC for my first #TLM25 with wonderful colleagues! A toast to you all with a delicious mocktail! Will see you around! Can’t wait! #LiverTwitter @aasldnews.bsky.social

The population we face these days is aging, and a significant proportion also has metabolic comorbidities. These factors interact with viral injury. Treatment indications for #HBV are expanding as we now know even in immune tolerant pts there is ongoing liver injury #TLM25

How to approach #MASLD at different stages of our patients lives Fantastic summary slide from @marurinella #PostGraduateCourse #TLM25 @aasldnews.bsky.social

Have you ever wondered how to screen your patient for HCCwhen they have a terrible window for USS or views are poor? We have had this discussion for a long time, but finally, here are some answers and guidance!! 📸 #TLM25 #LiverSky @aasldnews.bsky.social

Outstanding talk is #ALD in the postgraduate course 👏👏👏 I can’t fit all in one post, so stay for the 🧵 Definitions an prevalence👇 Remember: -one drink/day in👩‍💼 -two drinks/day in👨‍🦳 But! in the presence of #MASLD we may need to reconsider #TLM25 @aasldnews.bsky.social #LiverSky

Nice summary of things to focus on in each stage of life with our liver patients! #TLM25 #LiverSky @aasldnews.bsky.social

🚨Not every elevation of Creatinine in a corrhotic patient is #HRS! When faced with AKI in cirrhosis, assess your patient as a whole. This ABCD framework is very helpful And here are the updated definitions as well! #TLM25 #LiverSky @aasldnews.bsky.social

How to manage #HBV in pregnancy? Nice summary 👇 #TLM25 #LiverSky @aasldnews.bsky.social

Drug metabolism by the liver changes as we age. Did you know that? That influences not only the risk of #DILI, but also the pattern. Elderly patients with polypharmacy are more prone to #DILI, and #DILI is more likely to be cholestatic #TLM25 #LiverSky @aasldnews.bsky.social

Hepatic Encephalopathy and Dementia can coexist. But encephalopathy is reversible and dementia is not, bare in mind for your transplant assessments! 10% of cirrhotic pts have undiagnosed dementia. 13% of pts with dementia have abnormal FIB4 ->Consider trial of lactulose #TLM25

When a cirrhotic patient with altered mental status does not respond to treatment for encephalopathy, always include dementia in your differential! 👀👇 #TLM25 #LiverSky @aasldnews.bsky.social

🤯Did you know that <2% of cirrhotic patients who need a liver transplant actually receive one? As hepatologists we need to have uncomfortable conversations early on and help aplícate symptoms in ESLD, even if the patient is listed for liver transplant.🧵 #TLM25 #LiverSky

Our first THINK meeting had a great turnover! It was great meeting Transplant Hepatologists from around the world and tighten this global network we are creating!! Special thanks to Dr Watt and Dr Izzy! @_ILTS_ #TLM25

At University of Iowa we are planning a World Class event next fall to rise awareness on #MASLD, the leading cause of chronic liver disease and transplant. We will have a hybrid State of the Art Conference to which you are all invited! More to come, for now, SAVE THE DATE!

I asked AI to draw me the way I feel! 🤩 Each day I am less afraid of being, simply, myself 😊 I hope this picture inspires you all to shine like the stars you are! 💪💫

A thread about myself 🤗

I knew I wanted to be a doctor when my father helped an old man who had fainted. In the following years, I loved having breakfast with my parents, both doctors, listening to them discuss clinical cases and admiring how they unravelled symptoms to arrive at a diagnosis and assess treatment options.

Good morning everyone!! I am starting an account here, maybe you know me from other platforms, otherwise, happy to connect with y’all!! I am a Transplant Hepatologist at University of Iowa, wanting to change the world!! 🤩 Care to join me? ☺️ #Liver
