Surfing NASH extends its preview coverage of the upcoming EASL Congress with a three-part episode. This final conversation with Louise Campbell observes a paper she finds relevant to the recent NICE publishing of guidance around use of FibroScan in the primary care setting as well as International #NASHDay 2023.
The presentation in reference is titled Patients with persistently abnormal liver biochemistry are under-investigated and can be rapidly identified using a novel case-finding database. Particularly, Louise notes that the paper is coming from the team of former podcast guest, Tim Jobson of Predictive Health Intelligence. The importance of being able to locate patients is underscored as critical in efforts to scan those with highest risk in the UK.
The world’s largest liver meeting takes place 21-24 June in Vienna with an international faculty of experts from over 200 institutions.
