In this episode of the LiverHealthPOD Paul, John and Will discuss detection of liver fibrosis in the community.
Most people with significant liver scarring have no idea it's happening. No pain, no jaundice, no obvious symptoms — until the disease has already progressed to cirrhosis. In this episode, we explore why detecting liver fibrosis earlier — and closer to home — is one of the most important frontiers in liver health today, and what a painless, non-invasive scan is revealing about the hidden burden of liver disease in our communities.

In this episode of the LiverHealthPOD John, Will and Paul discuss new developments in Hepatitis B.
Hepatitis B affects over 300 million people worldwide and remains the leading cause of liver cancer globally — yet for decades, treatment options have been limited to viral suppression rather than cure. In this episode we break down the exciting wave of new therapies that are changing what's possible for people living with chronic hepatitis B.

"The 'D' in MASLD — Does It Belong?"
Everyone's talking about MASLD — but are we all agreeing on what it actually is? In this episode, we dive deep into one of hepatology's most hotly debated questions: does metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease truly qualify as a disease, or is it a spectrum, a risk factor, or simply a label we've slapped on a very complicated process?
We unpack the very real clinical consequences of how we define this condition.
Whether you're a clinician, a researcher, or someone navigating a MASLD diagnosis yourself, this one will challenge how you think about the liver — and the language we use to talk about it.

In this episode of the LiverHealthPOD John, Will and Paul discuss "Lean MAFLD". These patients may not fit the typical metabolic stereotype, but they can still progress to fibrosis and cirrhosis. which challenges the outdated assumption that fatty liver disease is simply a consequence of obesity.
People with a “normal” BMI can still develop significant hepatic steatosis and inflammation, often driven by a combination of genetic susceptibility, visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, and environmental factors.
