Explore the challenges and opportunities in the quest for a non-invasive diagnosis tool of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with insights from Dr Giada Sebastiani, associate professor of medicine at McGill University Health Center in Canada.
Dr. Kwanten (Belgium) discusses the pathophysiological role of intrahepatic vasculature in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). He mentions that portal hypertension is present in patients with NAFLD and can be evident in the early stages which is caused by intrahepatic vascular alterations. Further, he explores the different types of drugs that will help change the course of the disease.
Dr. Jörn Schattenberg (Germany) analyses the latest on the assessment in cirrhosis along with his own case study.
