Obesity is increasingly addressed with disease-modifying medications, with benefits that extend across other conditions.
A Review in @TheLancetEndo explores the multisystem benefits of obesity medications beyond weight loss: https://t.co/elmnTFscDF
In liver disease care, timing matters—but so does trajectory.
New studies are exploring whether changes in noninvasive fibrosis markers over just one year can help identify which patients are quietly progressing toward worse outcomes: https://t.co/zUwaDy2L62 #GI#liverdisease
The weight-loss-independent hepatoprotective benefits of semaglutide are orchestrated by intrahepatic sinusoidal endothelial GLP-1 receptors https://t.co/YDns4diYIG
As we've seen with the heart, kidney and osteoarthritis, some of the GLP-1 drug benefit for liver disease (MASH) is direct, independent of weight loss @Cell_Metabolism

A study published in Nature Communications highlights the biological diversity of severe pneumonia, uncovering distinct phenotypes that could guide personalized treatment strategies based on specific immune responses and clinical features. https://t.co/WMKa3xMsSq
Beyond lipids, altered #GlucoseMetabolism and hormonal dysregulation drive #MASLD progression to #MASH via adipokine-mediated signalling, highlighting #LiverDisease as a multi-organ disorder driven by multi-substrate metabolic reprogramming https://t.co/JfTMDwf0QH 🔓️ #Fibrosis
💉 Survodutide, a dual GLP-1/glucagon agonist, with Phase 3 results specifically in those with metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
⬇️ 84% of survodutide group met primary endpoint of >30% liver fat content reduction by MRI, compared to 24% of placebo.
⬇️ Survodutide group had 12% weight reduction vs. 1% with placebo.
🔑 Glucagon agonism likely has direct liver benefits, independent of weight loss

New review on epidemiology of cardiometabolic multiple long-term conditions #MLTC. Diseases including T2D, CVD, CKD and MASLD/MASH are considered a major global health challenge, driven by shared risks like obesity, insulin resistance and social disadvantage.

Los agonistas del receptor de GLP-1 no solo bajan glucosa y peso, cada vez hay más evidencia de un efecto antiinflamatorio directo en múltiples órganos.
La inflamación crónica es el hilo que conecta diabetes, enfermedad cardiovascular, hígado y cerebro.

Interesante puesta al día sobre el síndrome cardiovascular-renal-metabólico (CKM) en @NatRevNeph
Un constructo que integra lo que siempre hemos visto junto en consulta: obesidad ( enfermedad metabólica crónica adiposa), resistencia insulínica, enfermedad renal, riesgo cardiovascular, pero que al clasificar al 75-90% de los adultos como estadio ≥1 nos obliga a preguntarnos: ¿dónde está el límite entre factor de riesgo y enfermedad?
El verdadero reto, manejar todo esto en la práctica clínica diaria.

Today, we dive into a unique liver crisis emerging in the US due to our high rates of metabolic disease (obesity, type 2 diabetes) & heavy alcohol use. That combo is driving liver disease in younger adults who may not even know the damage they're doing.
