Two key points that we need to remember about the new SLD (Steatotic Liver Disease) nomenclature: 1️⃣ SLD ≠ MASLD — it also includes Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ALD). 2️⃣ A person with metabolic syndrome + 10 drinks/day has ALD, not MetALD. @AASLDtweets @EASLedu @AEEHLiver

@rabataller @AASLDtweets @EASLedu @AEEHLiver One of my (many) pet-peeves is 2️⃣. It is not just semantics. https://t.co/MDTlytMbhx
I’ve learned a lot from @geneyim and others about MetALD. 🆕 term/ICD 10 code ➡️Most adults in US have metabolic risk factors ➡️Lots of patients drink more than 1-2 🍷🍸/day and/or binge drink ❌Not all have MetALD ❓Is it metabolic factors or 🍸driving disease progression? ⚖️
