MASH & Obesity-Liver Axis

Obesity drives MASH progression with multiple new therapies entering clinical practice. The session covers resmetirom (Rezdiffra) real-world adoption and infrastructure requirements, GLP-1 effects on liver (ESSENCE semaglutide in MASH), multi-agonist trials (retatrutide, mazdutide) hepatic outcomes, FibroScan in obesity clinics for screening, MASH cirrhosis management, bariatric surgery effects on liver disease and MASH resolution, and primary-care screening pathways. Discussion addresses MASH-HCC surveillance, the comparison of MASH treatments mechanistically (THR-β vs incretin vs FGF21 vs PPAR), lanifibranor PPAR-pan-agonist, efruxifermin FGF21 analogue, equity in MASH care across populations, and the integration of hepatology, endocrinology and obesity medicine.
