Overview

Review highlights rising burden of metabolic-dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease, suggesting new therapies may improve outcomes.

Key Points

  • MASLD is the leading cause of liver disease in the UK, affecting up to 20% of adults and is linked to increased risk of cirrhosis and HCC.
  • New therapies like GLP-1 receptor agonists have demonstrated effective outcomes, specifically in weight loss and histological improvements for MASH.
  • The introduction of new nomenclature such as MASLD aims to clarify diagnosis and reduce stigma associated with liver disease.
  • Significant increases in MASLD-related complications expected by 2030 underline the urgent need for early detection and innovative treatment options.
