With deep sadness, we share the passing of Dr. Jaime Bosch — a visionary researcher, passionate physician, and cherished friend. Widely regarded as the father of portal hypertension, the Liver Unit of Barcelona will always be indebted to his immense legacy.

As a health provider, I witness daily how precious and fragile life is. Yet globally, we’re investing more in learning how to kill than how to heal. More tanks and missiles than medicines and research. Think about it. It’s not OK.

Two key points that we need to remember about the new SLD (Steatotic Liver Disease) nomenclature: 1️⃣ SLD ≠ MASLD — it also includes Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ALD). 2️⃣ A person with metabolic syndrome + 10 drinks/day has ALD, not MetALD. @AASLDtweets @EASLedu @AEEHLiver

Why do two people drinking 10 beers/day have such different GGT levels—one at 85, the other at 980? Genetics matter: variants in GGT and ADRB2 genes regulate GGT levels and activity. Also remember: GGT isn’t just a marker—it’s a pro-oxidant enzyme contributing to liver damage.

Today, @NEJM reports that Efruxifermin (an FGF21 agonist) is the first drug to reduce fibrosis in compensated cirrhosis due to NASH. This effect is seen after 96 weeks, so patience is key. Could combining Semaglutide make it even more powerful?

A basic way to avoid bad habits is to imagine how you’ll feel afterward. It’s called episodic future thinking. Previewing the unwanted consequences of procrastinating, overeating, and doomscrolling can motivate better choices. Your future self is wiser than your present self.
