FibroScan in pediatric #MASLD 🩺

📉 CAP poorly predicted steatosis
📉 LSM only modest for fibrosis staging

Better noninvasive pediatric tools are needed

MASLD incidence is rising in children, and its features differ from adult MASLD in important ways: https://t.co/KuEdgskATD

@TheLiverPost, @SudhaBiddinger, @SamarHIbrahimMD review the epidemiology, perinatal influences, genetics, and distinct zonation patterns of pediatric MASLD.

[Jeff Schwimmer @TheLiverPost]

📢 New in @jclinicalinvest : We explore pediatric MASLD as a distinct, early-onset liver disease shaped by perinatal factors, genetics, and hepatic zonation.
@SudhaBiddinger @SamarHIbrahimMD
Opportunities for early intervention start in childhood.

🚨The LIVERS study now in @HEP_Journal the longest follow-up study of pediatric MASLD shows children with MASLD face a mortality rate >40x higher than peers. @UCSD @radychildrens @sdsuhealth https://t.co/UR82PAEjmm

🚨 New publication alert! 🚨
Our systematic review on exercise for pediatric MASLD is now in @PLOSONE We uncover major gaps in evidence and propose research priorities to develop evidence-based exercise guidelines for kids. @UCSDHealthSci @radychildrens

@SupNoraVargas Thank you to @SupNoraVargas and @SupLawsonRemer for bringing this forward. I am honored to lead an initiative at @radychildrens aiming to make a lasting difference in the health and quality of life of children with obesity and their families throughout San Diego.

#JNutr 12-wk trial finds "daily #PentadecanoicAcid (C15:0) supplementation increased circulating C15:0 levels in young adults with #overweight or #obesity." Findings fit with growing evidence that C15:0 may be beneficial for #MetabolicHealth. @TheLiverPost https://t.co/QBbHLxaVv7

We collaborated with @KPDOR to evaluate liver health in Asian and Pacific Islander children. Chinese and Filipino children with overweight and obesity had the highest rates of elevated liver chemistry and suspected MASLD. @UCSDHealth @radychildrens

@statsandedits I contend that @CaseyStoney asking the @NWSL to hold the referees to a professional standard befitting the level of play is beneficial to the league.
