The editorial team’s monthly recap of the top news in hepatology features research emphasizing women’s health in liver disease, a look at some less-recognized health benefits associated with achieving SVR, and promising approaches for preventing and treating hepatic conditions.
Adopting a nutritious diet that includes foods known for supporting and safeguarding the liver can aid in preventing prevalent liver conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) while promoting optimal liver function.
Although there was a greater prevalence of ALD and MetALD among male study participants, females had a greater risk of mortality from both SLD phenotypes, highlighting a potentially greater impact of alcohol consumption on women with liver disease than men.
Patients with lean NAFLD had fewer metabolic comorbidities but maintained similar risk of NASH, cirrhosis, nonliver cancer, and mortality compared to their overweight and obese counterparts.
