In this engaging session, patient advocates will share their personal experiences living with liver disease, from the moment of diagnosis through treatment and daily management. Their stories will shed light on the emotional and medical challenges faced along the way. A physician will join the panel to provide clinical insights and participate in a thoughtful discussion on enhancing patient-centered care and communication.<br />

The transplant journey is a complex and emotional process that differs across age groups while sharing critical milestones. Experts explore the unique challenges and experiences of pediatric and adult transplant patients from initial diagnosis to long-term survivorship. Through the lens of the transplant journey map, speakers connect real-life experiences to key stages in the transplant process, providing insights for patients, families, and care teams to navigate this life-changing path.

Join a panel of patients, caregivers, and patient advocacy leaders who participated in the National Liver Gathering, a first-of-its-kind scientific conference that places patients at the center of research, clinical practice, and policy discussions.<br />
<br />
This session will share key insights from across disease areas, including MASH, viral hepatitis elimination, harm reduction, rare liver diseases, liver cancer, transplantation, and pediatric liver disease &mdash; and reflect on how patient voices shaped the conversations.<br />
<br />
Attendees will learn how this model fosters collaboration between the scientific and patient communities and will have an opportunity to discuss how to expand this patient-centered approach nationally.<br />

Presenters in this symposium focus on the varied functions of liver endothelial cells (ECs). ECs are specialized cells increasingly recognized for their heterogeneity and their key role in liver diseases and carcinogenesis. Recent advances in the understanding of EC function were made possible with refined isolation techniques coupled with multiomics studies. Speakers review emerging literature that defines liver ECs beyond their role as vascular barriers to critical mediators in various biological processes under physiologic and pathologic conditions. 

Join us as we discuss the importance of early identification of MASH (metabolic&nbsp;dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis), including how to accurately identify and select patients who are at risk for clinically significant fibrosis. We will also discuss clinical trial data for patients with MASH and stage 2 or 3 fibrosis.<br />
