We’re proud to share our new website which has #cirrhosis resources for patients and clinicians #livertwitter #cirrhosis cirrhosiscare.ca

Conclusion of this meta-analysis is that we know too little on the PK of statins in advanced cirrhosis. Very limited information also on toxicity. Rhabdo is a problem in decomp cirrhosis. Hope it can be of help in designing new RCTs #livertwitter rdcu.be/chyr4

Why we did this study: 1⃣ like any physiological readout HVPG has variability (including measurement error) 2⃣ This affects trial design and… 3⃣ affects the interpretation of individual “therapeutic response” (HVPG before/after an intervention) aasldpubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/he…

In my ALD clinic, I noticed that more than 30% of my patients have >2 components of the metabolic syndrome. Happy that Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology devotes its cover to our article on this relevant clinical topic. shorturl.at/yPUZ0 EASL Education #livertwitter #MedTwitter

Patients with #cirrhosis need lots of calories to avoid malnutrition In general we say 35 kcal/kg But! Brooke Chapman shows that many are super hypermetabolic and may need even more doi.org/10.3390/nu1522… #livertwitter Especially high MELD patients with bad ascites

The MELD score at 28 days is a powerful predictor of 90-day survival Could be used as an outcome in clinical trials What do you think? journals.lww.com/hepcomm/fullte… Hepatology Communications

Happy to contribute to the field. MELD 28 is a powerful predictor of 90- survival We can use MELD 28 distribution as surrogate outcome of efficacy in ordinal outcome which make trials more efficient

Not everyone drinking excess alcohol will develop liver disease. Great work Fred Ho, Fanny Petermann et al showing additive interaction of diet and alcohol for ArLD, after controlling for MASLD risks.

Thank goodness!! #gitwitter #livertwitter. Just like Elliot Tapper taught me, when I was green.
