Overview
MASLD/MASH is a serious, chronic, progressive disease and will soon be the most common indication for liver transplantation and major driver of the development of liver cancer. Until recently there was no liver-directed therapy for MASH and the metabolic benefits of pharmacologic modification of body weight in the management of MASLD/MASH were underappreciated. This symposium will provide practical, interactive discussions of cardiometabolic pathophysiologic pathways, early identification and risk stratification, advances in treatment, monitoring for disease progression, and long-term medical management, including the role of incretin agonists.
