Experts provide an overview of reproductive health issues and pregnancy in liver transplant recipients, including the natural history of posttransplant fertility, recommended changes in immunosuppressive pharmacotherapy during pregnancy, and fetal outcomes.
This unique meet-up fosters meaningful interaction between the patient community and health care practitioners focused on those affected by MASLD/MASH.

Experts present information addressing the safety and efficacy of transplantation of HBsAg-positive donor organs into hepatitis B seronegative recipients and long-term management of hepatitis B post transplantation in this patient population. Topics include patient and graft survival, and posttransplant management including the role of hepatitis B immunoglobulin, long-term HBV suppressive managment, and HCC risk and surveillance.
Experts provide a primer on how to start, organize, and refine an integrated, multidisciplinary alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) clinic. Topics addressed include creation of a business plan and troubleshooting potential pitfalls in running an integrated ALD clinic.
Experts provide insights into the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease, with a focus on cirrhosis. Topics include the efficacy of FDA-approved therapeutics and off-label use of medications for AUD, and how to manage side effects of these agents.
Topic experts discuss the risk of DILI and phenotypes of presentation from children to the elderly. Presenters review emerging and novel therapies associated with DILI, provide an update on blood-based biomarkers of DILI, and highlight research priorities to address knowledge gaps in this constantly evolving space.
Join in the fun with the 3rd iteration of the popular (standing room only in 2024) and only (thank goodness) hepatotoxicity-themed game show at The Liver Meeting. The style and format of this workshop is loosely based on the NPR game show, "Wait wait...Don't Tell Me!". The Hepatotoxicity Special Interest Group has assembled a panel of experts to address cutting-edge topics in DILI and mechanisms of hepatotoxicity. Speakers present in a "speed data" format, with the majority of time left for discussion and engagement with panelists and the audience. Speakers are introduced by ridiculous limericks anchored in the topic of the presentation rather than extensive CVs. The session features audience participation in a competition to win a unique AASLD Wait Wait...Don't DILI! mug.
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is the focus of this joint symposium from AASLD and the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL). ACLF is a complex syndrome characterized by acute hepatic decompensation in the setting of chronic liver disease leading to multiorgan failure and high short-term mortality. However, the definition, classification, and management strategies for ACLF vary significantly between APASL and AASLD guidelines. The program begins with an in-depth exploration of ACLF definitions as per APASL and AASLD, highlighting key clinical differences via case-based presentations. Expert discussions follow focusing on management strategies from both AASLD and APASL perspectives. While AASLD emphasizes early liver transplantation and intensive care, APASL advocates for aggressive medical management, including liver regeneration therapies. Understanding these distinct approaches is crucial for optimizing patient care, particularly in resource-limited settings.
Join this interactive session that focuses on the diagnosis and management of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome and veno-occlusive disease. Topics include current diagnostic approaches for sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease, available therapies, natural history of the condition, and patient prognosis.
