Awareness on how to keep our liver healthy should start as early as possible! 🧑🎓
🏫The #LoveYourLiver impact projects have already kicked off in schools across Italy, ahead of #EASLCongress 2024.
Teaming up with @UniPadova and Project 2023 Third Mission, hepatologists are visiting classrooms and educating young pupils on the importance of liver care. ⭐️
On 3 June, the project will roll out in Milan, our #EASLCongress host city, leaving a lasting legacy on our future generation!
"Prevention is a key factor for liver health: by making the right choices every day we can protect our liver, and also influence our overall wellbeing." - @fprusso73
Watch the video from our school visit in Padova!
The prevalence of Steatotic Liver Disease is staggering, affecting millions worldwide, and linked to t2 diabetes and obesity.
Collaboration is key in the fight against SLD. Through partnerships with health leaders, policymakers, and patient organisations, we're fostering a united front.
Together, let's make SLD visible on the global health agenda.
By uniting our efforts and advocating for change on occasions such as #WorldLiverDay, we can pave the way for healthier livers and healthier lives.

After over 20 years of dedicated research and drug development, the FDA has granted approval for the first anti-MASH drug. This marks a pivotal moment for patients battling MASH, whose quality of life and long-term prognosis have been greatly affected by this challenging disease.
For those where lifestyle modifications alone aren't enough, there is now hope with the availability of Resmetirom.
Resmetirom has been licensed for patients with non-cirrhotic MASH and liver fibrosis, providing a much-needed treatment option for those with significant or advanced fibrosis. It is important to note that alongside this medication, diet and exercise remain fundamental pillars of management, as emphasised by the FDA.
EASL eagerly anticipates the global availability of this treatment and is optimistic that this milestone will spur the development of further drugs to combat MASH.
While this approval is a significant victory, there's still work to be done, particularly for patients with cirrhosis who currently lack approved drug treatment options.

MAESTRO-NASH is a positive trial
Resmetirom improved NASH resolution and reduced fibrosis at 52-weeks. It is safe.
Is it a landmark study? Yes
Will it change NASH? Depends on cost, adherence in real world, and effect on clinical outcomes #EASLCongress#LiverTwitter
