With deep sadness, AASLD recognizes the passing of a great leader in the field. Dr. Stephen Harrison leaves behind an incredible legacy, particularly in NASH/MASH. Thank you Drs. Rinella, Tetri, and Brunt for your moving tribute, which you can read here: aasld.org/col-stephen-ha…

Stephen Harrison had a massive, positive, impact on the field. He produced landmarks in the epidemiology of NAFLD/MASLD, non-invasive testing, and he lead the trial that brought us the first FDA-approved drug

1. Terrible outcomes compared to hepatitis B alone
2. There are new and emerging treatments

INSUFFICIENT #HDV testing in #HepB patients

In this 41658(+)HBsAg VA cohort only 10.7% were ever tested for #antiHDV

BadNews: HCV(+) & HIV(+) were even less likely to be tested

GoodNews: testing increased over time (graph)
