In this webinar, we will review the role of diet and exercise in the management of NAFLD. Specifically, we will overview the data in support of specific nutritional programs and physical activity regimens that have been shown to improve histologic components of NAFLD and NASH. Lastly, we will outline the remaining knowledge gaps and barriers related to lifestyle interventions in the treatment of NAFLD/NASH.Michelle Long Michelle T.

Lai, Florence Wong – 24 April 2018 – Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is the culmination of chronic liver disease and extrahepatic organ failures, which is associated with a high short‐term mortality and immense health care expenditure. There are varying definitions for organ failures and ACLF in Europe, North America, and Asia.

Lazaridis – 24 April 2018 – The United Kingdom‐Primary Biliary Cholangitis (UK‐PBC) risk scores are a set of prognostic models that estimate the risk of end‐stage liver disease in patients with PBC at 5‐, 10‐ and 15‐year intervals. They have not been externally validated outside the United Kingdom.

The PEG‐B‐ACTIVE (NCT01519960) phase III study evaluated peginterferon (PegIFN) alfa‐2a treatment in children aged 3 to <18 years with CHB.

McCaughan, Michael Crawford, Nicholas Shackel – 23 April 2018 – Acute kidney injury (AKI) after liver transplantation (LT) is a common event, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. The aim of this prospective study is to investigate the potential relationship between postreperfusion gene expression, serum mediators, and the onset of AKI after LT. Sixty‐five consecutive patients undergoing LT were included in the study.
