On December 1, 2022, Michael Betel, President and Founder of the Fatty Liver Alliance and Marko Korenjak, President of ELPA – European Liver Patients’ Association, introduced the First Annual NAFLD and NASH Primary Care Summit.
This important multidisciplinary program wanted to raise awareness about crucial questions related to this liver disease. What are the knowledge gaps today? How are high-risk patients assessed? Is early detection possible? How can Primary Care Physicians tailor care for patients? Why is interdisciplinary care critical? What lifestyle modifications or pharmacological treatments can be utilised? What are the interrelationships among Type-2 Diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease? What does the future hold for NAFLD and NASH?
