Check out our manuscript in @metabolomics!
🔷Aim: find plasma oxylipins associated w/advanced fibrosis in people with HIV + HCV
🔷Model = AST + 7 oxylipins, AUC 0.93!
🔷Role of oxidative stress?

In @JIDJournal, @KWegermann and colleagues aim to discover lipid metabolite signatures for persons with HIV (PWH), PWH with HCV coinfection, and individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and steatohepatitis (MASLD, MASH). https://t.co/h3gQyTkAFa

Heart failure (HF) = common, underrecognized in MASLD patients
https://t.co/sUmuiOUML7

*⃣ ~50% MASLD patients w/ suspected HF, ~20% diagnosed
➡️ Care pathway needed!
