How AI accurately portrayed the emotion and drama of this hepatology conundrum is uncanny. Laughing for therapy = the only LFT in my book. #LiverTwitter

The IKEA manual of hepatology care - there’s never a right process and even if you encounter missing parts, you can find a pretty decent end product :) Thank you @AASLDtweets for an opportunity to chat about building a hepatology practice in the community. #TLM25 #TLM2025

🌟 The hepatology care gap is real • Collaboration builds strong liver programs • Innovation = research + education • Integration across IR, HPB surgery, pathology, and hepatology 💛 #AASLD2025 #Hepatology #LiverFellowNetwork

The @hoaghealth DHI symposium was really fun this year! We were blessed to have Professor @NoureddinMD visit us as the keynote speaker for the Hepatology section. Great venue, great speakers, great times. Hope to see you next year! #LiverTwitter

Great study on not forgetting your roots - while ascites/HE have been removed from objective mortality prediction/LT prioritization, it shouldn’t be forgotten from predicting mortality and prioritizing medical care/LT in clinical practice. #LiverTwitter

Wonder how many new customers are actually old customers of alcoholic beer? Also found the IWSR report interesting on “casual consumption.” Lots of changes in drinking patterns and will be interesting to see their global effects on ALD #LiverTwitter

Curious how all of you respond when your ALD patients say “I’ve switched over to non-alcoholic beer.” Or wine. #LiverTwitter

Lean MASH, PBF 19%, ruled out most secondary causes - apart from trying to test PNPLA3, if the patient can afford the assay ($200-400 USD), how do you counsel and manage your lean MASH patients? #LiverTwitter

Any experiences or tips on streamlining your MASLD referrals? In the midst of building a dot phrase in Epic for the FIB-4. I’m curious how other centers are dealing with the volume of MASLD referrals to Hepatology, please share! I would love to learn. #LiverTwitter

This weekend, I had the privilege of directing the 3rd annual Digestive Health Symposium for @hoaghealth. We were blessed with the presence of @geneyim in learning about ALD for our keynote address. Overall, super fun and educational. Thankful to our organizers and attendees!

Back to writing again - check out new article on ascites/HE in MELD 3.0. New scoring systems are necessary in achieving equity but clinical observation is still key in identifying those in need, transplant or not. @TXPDirect #LiverTwitter https://t.co/PcHFsBhoYn

Been awhile Twitter aka X! Consult today: lactobacillus in the ascitic fluid of a cirrhotic patient with SBP. Takes probiotics at home. I’ve only seen this one other time during residency. Probiotics in cirrhosis - thoughts? #LiverTwitter
