Season 9, Episode 4 - The Clinical Blind Spot: Are We Neglecting Alcohol?

This EASL Studio explores the discrepancy between the huge burden of patients hospitalised with, and dying from, alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) or MetALD, versus the same disease’s near non-existence from population data. The panel will discuss whether current classification systems (heavily favoring metabolic causes) misrepresent the true burden of ALD and MetALD, and what clinicians can do to better map the role of alcohol in liver patients.
