Ep 37 – Monday at TLMdX 2020 from AASLD: Getting Better at Diagnostics and Drugs, Not Education

Mary Rinella joins the Surfers for a final day of AASLD 2020 reviewing focusing equally on lessons in drug development and the crying need for social and dietary education, particularly for parents and children.

The Surfers spend the final day of AASLD 2020 looking at two very different sets of issues.

Issue 1: challenges proving efficacy in F2 populations, particularly in terms of fibrosis.

Issue 2: social burdens of poor dietary choices around the world, particularly given how developing PNAFLD (pediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) can create a metabolic burden that can last a lifetime.

In the end, the group remained optimistic about the explosion of knowledge around drugs and diagnostics for NASH and NAFLD but troubled by the lack of social policy, awareness or education around these issues.
