Zoom Only - Decoding the New Nomenclature: What SLD, MASLD, MASH, MetALD Mean for Patients and Providers

Nov 10 2023
Room 313 - Hynes Convention Center
10:00 - 10:30 AM EST

Description

Join us for an enlightening Community Conversation as we discuss why doctors and experts are moving away from terms like NAFLD and NASH, and using new terms such as SLD, MASLD, MASH, and MetALD. This is not just a name change; it is a transformative approach to liver disease that aims to be more inclusive, patient-centric, and destigmatizing for individuals like you. Whether you are living with liver disease, advocating for someone who is, or simply interested, this Community Conversation is your guide to understanding these important changes.
