MASLD with Sven Francque - Part 1

About this episode

Pradeep Mundre and Professor Sven Francque discuss MASLD, its implications, and the new EASL guidelines.

Around one in three adults has MASLD, but only a few percent reach cirrhosis. Pradeep Mundre and Professor Sven Francque (Antwerp), co-author of the 2024 EASL guidelines, cover the new nomenclature, dysfunctional adiposity versus BMI, and how to use FIB-4 to decide who needs a hepatologist.
