The FDA just approved Wegovy for MASH—the 2nd ever treatment for this silent killer liver disease and the first one with significant capabilities for widespread adoption. This is a huge development for liver patients everywhere! https://t.co/z2nuuPYE9i

For many years doctors have told me that the best treatment for NAFLD/NASH (now referred to medically as MAFLD/MASH) was simply losing weight. That’s because we did not have any pharmaceutica…

@FoxNews @DrJBhattacharya @peta @DrJBhattacharya loved your comment on the rise of chronic disease...we had funding to AHRQ last year for the first Congressionally funded study on NAFLD/NASH. Over 90 million American's are estimated to have some form of this disease and we need more attention from NIH!

I was proud today to represent the American Liver Foundation at the 2025 Liver Life Advocacy Summit in Washington D.C. Dozens of advocates met with members of Congress and their staff to advance the ALF mission in a beautiful spring day. NJ Strong! @liverUSA

At a recent UNGA sidelines event, many prominent health policy experts had never ever heard of NAFLD/NASH. How is it that our healthcare system is failing so badly to address this issue? And what can we do?

The energy in the room was electric. Packed to standing-room-only capacity, it held diverse representatives from nations as far afield as Qatar, Africa, and Brazil. These were not just academics or…

Good article from @AgrawalNina! Years ago I asked a room full of Hepatologist's what the most effective treatment for NAFLD/NASH was and they unanimously said surgeries like this. That's shifting today, because now GLP-1 drugs are changing the game. https://t.co/0IkdHE2Pza

Recent research suggests that a new approach could help even patients with advanced forms of fatty liver disease.

Fantastic news for NASH patients.
This is really big news for MASH! Akero Therapeutics' FGF21 agonist efruxifermin just demonstrated impressive efficacy in treating fatty liver disease. Around 1/3 of late stage (F4) patients even saw reversal of cirrhosis pathology over 3 years

Mom passed away 10 years ago this month only 6 weeks after being diagnosed with NASH. I have been working ever since to raise awareness of this silent killer disease. Her story is the lede of this NYT article on fatty liver disease. https://t.co/2rhrxGRtmG

This incredible event hosted by @economistimpact & the UN General Assembly challenged some of the traditional dialogue and narrative around NASH/NAFLD and issued a challenge: we have enough data to act now. Proud to attend on behalf of the ALF @liverUSA

Ten years ago today my mother passed away only SIX weeks after being diagnosed with the liver disease NASH. It's a silent killer for so many becausenof a lack of screening and awareness. I wrote about dealing with her sudden loss here. https://t.co/p8s4D9jCHV

My mother passed away suddenly four years ago this month after a short battle with late-stage NASH. Which is impossible, but somehow true. Just a few days before being diagnosed with NASH she was…

@asymmetricinfo By processing screening results and providing detailed and informative diagnosis and action plans, we can free up medical specialists to focus on the truly relevant at-risk patients with more severe conditions. AI can provide realtime and lifelong follow-up and guidance too /end

@asymmetricinfo It takes years to train hepatologists and the second they are brought on their schedules are essentially booked solid forever. GPs can act as first-line but are also time-constrained to ten minute annual checkups for their patients. LLM AIs will transform this paradigm /3

@asymmetricinfo As just one example, I advocate to raise awareness of fatty liver disease, which impacts ~80 million Americans, most of whom are unaware they have it Doctors resist universal screening which could help with early intervention because they cannot handle the volume of patients /2
