New research - Phosphatidylethanol and self-reported alcohol intake to subclassify in individuals at risk of steatotic liver disease: an analysis of data from a prospective cohort study www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... #LiverSky #MedSky @aleksanderkrag.bsky.social @israelsenm.bsky.social

How should we use PEth in SLD care? 🩸🍺 Our study in @lancetgastrohep.bsky.social (n≈3,000) shows: 🔍 39% of MASLD → MetALD/ALD with PEth ⨻ Triangulating self-report + AUDIT-C + PEth = better classification ⚖️ But 40% get no added value → use selectively www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our newdata show 38% of individuals with SLD are reclassified over 2 years ‼️ Over 60% with MetALD/ALD and 38% with MASLD change subclass. This highlights that alcohol use and metabolic risk need regular reassessment, incl. for clinical trial eligibility 🧐 Link: www.cghjournal.org/article/S154...

#liversky #gastrosky #oncsky

MASLD vs MetALD/ALD is often reduced to ‘alcohol or not’. But alcohol use is not binary—and SLD is a dynamic spectrum where alcohol plays a significant role across phenotypes. Time to rethink the simplistic divide 🧐 @aleksanderkrag.bsky.social @natrevgastrohep.bsky.social

Happy to share a new review article in JHep Reports written by @mattiasmandorfer.bsky.social @juanabraldes.bsky.social and myself - take a look! www.jhep-reports.eu/article/S258...

JHEP Reports has published our update cirrhosis epidemiology in Denmark: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Our population of cirrhosis patients is changing: They're older now than they used to be, and fewer have ALD. The incidence of ALD is decreasing in Denmark, unlike in so many other places.

#EASL Studio season 8 starts next week, we will discuss Steatotic Liver Disease - how the current breakthroughs will transform clinical practice. Want to stay updated join us.! easl.eu/easl-studio-...

The authors of today’s #readoftheweek📚 discuss the functional genetic study of protein-altering variants, and how it provides insights on the association between loss of TM6SF2 function and #SLD. Read here this JHEP Reports article: www.jhep-reports.eu/article/S258... #LiverSky

We tend to think that all decompensated cirrhosis are the same. During the 12 years that I practiced in the USA, I learnt that MASLD cirrhosis is different. See below the 10 more common specific medical issues of MASLD CIRRHOSIS that I found:
