High Stakes, New Strategies: Tackling Severe Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis

Description

This meeting session will explore emerging research on alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), with a focus on severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (SAH). The session will highlight long-term outcomes following hospitalization and early liver transplantation for SAH, as well as introduce a novel therapeutic approach to its treatment. Additionally, it will examine a newly identified genetic risk modifier for ALD and investigate the potential influence of cannabis use on disease risk. Together, these abstracts aim to deepen understanding of disease mechanisms, treatment strategies, and risk factors in ALD.
