🚨Proud of our new publication in @HEP_Journal🚨 FIB-4 misses 36% of significant #fibrosis in #HIV (n≈5,000, 7 centers) — worse in #MASLD. 💡 FIB-4 alone isn’t enough. ➡️ Add metabolic + HIV factors (FIB-HIV) ➡️ Consider earlier transient elastography journals.lww.com/hep/abstrac…

📢New paper out! In people with #HIV, severity of #MASLD is linked to a distinct gut #microbiota signature 🦠—but not functional pathway shifts. 🎯Microbial profiling could complement #noninvasive risk stratification for #liver disease in this group. 🔗mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/17/816…

Honoured to coauthor this work with MASLD experts. We must prioritize pediatric MASLD to improve care and awareness. Addressing this in kids is key to halting the epidemic. @CASLupdates @FattyLiverA @CanMASLDNetwork @NASPGHAN @AASLDtweets
