Explore the Metabolism, Alcohol and Toxicity track programme for The Digital ILC 2020
EASL has been actively working to beat liver disease, including NAFLD & NASH, through its schools and key event, the NAFLD Summit. EASL has also developed a Policy Statement on the measures required to prevent and treat this common progressive condition. Globally, 1 in 4 people are living with fatty liver disease, with obesity, alcohol consumption, and sedentary lifestyles as key contributors.
Fatty liver is a silent but deadly epidemic with many people remaining asymptomatic well into the advanced stages of disease. The development of new therapies, the use of biomarkers in NAFLD, and how microbiota and genes can modulate alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) are current key research questions that will be addressed during The Digital ILC 2020.
Digital ILC 2020 highlights: NAFLD pharmacological therapy session
What progress is underway in NAFLD pharmacological therapy? How has this active research field evolved since ILC 2019? Watch this video to get the “NAFLD pharmacological therapy” highlights from the session co-chair, Prof. Sven Francque.
