New 🇩🇰 data @JHepatology:
In people treated for 🍻 AUD, 10-yr ALD risk is 7% (13% w/ T2D) & mortality is 4x higher than general population.
👉 Underscores need for routine liver screening in AUD care, esp. w/ diabetes & cardiometabolic risk.

We’ve heard it all…even comments like “At least you have two livers” 😮 We only have one liver, and it’s a vital organ. Together we can raise awareness about this rare disease to build understanding and support the PSC community.
#LetsBeatPSC#LiverHealth#RareDisease
For those living with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), every day presents challenges, and we must use the month of #September2025 to not only raise awareness but educate others about what living with PBC truly means. #YouAreNotAlone💪🏾

Alcohol is not a sleep aid. It’s a sedative.
• It sedates you, but blocks natural sleep architecture
• Triggers dozens of micro-awakenings
• Suppresses REM sleep by up to 50%
Next day: groggy, moody, and mentally slower.
Markers that matter more than BMI:
- ApoB
- Visceral fat (VAT)
- Fasting insulin
- LPIR score
- HOMA-IR
- Waist circumference
- HbA1c
Track these — not just your weight.
Gradual Titration of Semaglutide
1️⃣ 104 T2D patients randomized to label titration vs. flexible gradual titration (26 weeks).
2️⃣ Withdrawals: 2% flexible vs. 19% label (due to GI AEs).
3️⃣ Flexible Arm: less nausea, less asthenia, fewer nausea days (2.9 vs. 6.3).
4️⃣ HbA1c and…
Phase 2 data @Viking_VKTX oral GLP-1/GIP agonist VK2735 = 12.2% mean weight loss at 13 wks vs 1.3% with placebo. ≥10% WL in 80% on drug vs 5% placebo. GI AEs mostly mild/mod; discontinuation rates higher—clarity coming in Phase 3. Promising.

Phase 2 trial of once-monthly MariTide (maridebart cafraglutide) @NEJM : 12–16% mean weight loss at 52 wks in obesity without diabetes, 8–12% with diabetes. Placebo ~2%. Sustained cardiometabolic benefits. Potential game-changer for adherence.

Only 54% of U.S. adults drink: lowest since 1939; most now view moderate use as unhealthy
Has the ALD epidemic been overplayed, or is public messaging finally landing?
Vital to keep linking these shifts to hard outcomes — cirrhosis, transplant, mortality.

FDA accepts proposal for a “reasonably likely” surrogate endpoint in #MASH trials: Liver stiffness by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE)
A step toward replacing invasive biopsies with non-invasive tools in drug development
@Echosensfda.gov/drugs/drug-saf…
Large transatlantic analysis🇺🇸🇪🇺 (>237k liver transplants, 2000–2022) confirms the global shift:
ALD & NASH/MASH now top indications, HCV declines, HCC peaked then fell.
Mortality predictors aligned across regions.
@LTxJournaljournals.lww.com/lt/abstract/99…
Why do we talk about RECOMPENSATION?
Because in decompensated cirrhosis, the story doesn’t always end with decline.
✅1 in 3 patients can recompensate after treating the cause.
