Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. The liver is a vital organ that processes nutrients, filters the blood, and fights infections. When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected. Heavy alcohol use, toxins, some medications, and certain medical conditions can cause hepatitis. However, hepatitis is often caused by a virus. In the United States, the most common types of viral hepatitis are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. ​Hepatitis D, also known as “delta hepatitis,” is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV). Hepatitis D only occurs in people who are also infected with the hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis D is spread when blood or other body fluids from a person infected with the virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. Hepatitis D can be an acute, short-term infection or become a long-term, chronic infection. Hepatitis D can cause severe symptoms and serious illness that can lead to life-long liver damage and even death. People can become infected with both hepatitis B and hepatitis D viruses at the same time (known as “coinfection”) or get hepatitis D after first being infected with the hepatitis B virus (known as “superinfection”). There is no vaccine to prevent hepatitis D. However, prevention of hepatitis B with hepatitis B vaccine also protects against future hepatitis D infection. ​Hepatitis E is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV). HEV is found in the stool of an infected person. It is spread when someone unknowingly ingests the virus – even in microscopic amounts. In developing countries, people most often get hepatitis E from drinking water contaminated by feces from people who are infected with the virus. In the United States and other developed countries where hepatitis E is not common, people have gotten sick with hepatitis E after eating raw or undercooked pork, venison, wild boar meat, or shellfish. In the past, most cases in developed countries involved people who have recently traveled to countries where hepatitis E is common. Symptoms of hepatitis E can include fatigue, poor appetite, stomach pain, nausea, and jaundice. However, many people with hepatitis E, especially young children, have no symptoms. Except for the rare occurrence of chronic hepatitis E in people with compromised immune systems, most people recover fully from the disease without any complications. No vaccine for hepatitis E is currently available in the United States. (credits CDC)

This conversation is the opening segment of SurfingMASH's April discussion, in memory of Stephen A. Harrison, on drug development. In addition to co-hosts Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green, panelists include hepatologists and key opinion leaders Sven Francque and Naim Alkhouri. This opening discussion focuses on exciting advances in one drug class (FGF-21s) and, more broadly, on exploring ways to treat cirrhosis. As Naim points out in his opening comment, these two issues— cirrhosis as a challenge and FGF-21s as a possible solution path —intersect in clear and exciting ways. He notes that the FGF-21 efruxifermin has been reported to have significant improvement in patients with cirrhosis, while the FGF-21 pegozafermin has shared positive results in a small cohort of patients. He also notes that a third FGF-21, efimosfermin alfa, has results in advanced non-cirrhotic MASH that suggest potential for similar efficacy in patients with cirrhosis, but this must be studied and confirmed in clinical trials. He mentions that resmetirom may also be showing signs of efficacy in some patients with cirrhosis. The entire package, he says, is a "game changer."Jörn notes that we are having parallel advances in treatment for advanced, non-cirrhotic patients. Sven concurs and comments that we are seeing effects that are not strictly related to metabolic disease. There is exceptional power that we can demonstrate one-level regression in sicker patients. The three agree that, at the same time, we are seeing cirrhosis trials that will lead to outcomes data; outcomes trials in non-cirrhotic medications may not be far away.Roger asks whether we are making progress in treating patients living with decompensated cirrhosis. Sven discusses what we are learning about treating portal hypertension, which is an important benefit unrelated to fibrosis regression. Simply improving portal hypertension will have an impact on endpoints. Naim points out that some ongoing trials include patients with cirrhosis, including survodutide and belapectin. Louise notes it will require "great P.R." to reverse some of the current perceptions about cirrhosis, but that this is "great." Naim states that even today, we have "a lot to offer" patients with portal hypertension or other symptoms of decompensation. As he concludes, he notes that this is underappreciated today.

00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 6 Episode 5Host Roger Green briefly describes this episode's three sections and introduces Roundtable guests. The Roundtable panel shares groundbreakers. 00:10:39 - Roundtable: A Deep Dive Into Drug Development, Part OneThe opening portion of this month's roundtable centers around two issues: exciting data for FGF-21s and, more generally, treating patients with cirrhosis. Naim Alkhouri sets the tone in his opening comments, which start by focusing on the exciting SYMMETRY data from efruxifermin and then hones in on FGF-21s and resmetirom in cirrhosis. The rest of the conversation features Jörh Schattenberg, Sven Francque and Naim discussing therapies in development for compensated and decompensating cirrhosis.00;24:44 - Newsmaker: Naga Chalasani on Real-World Experience Prescribing ResmetiromNaga joins Roger to discuss the paper Early Experience with resmetirom to treat Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis With Fibrosis in a Real-World Setting from his group at Indiana University, which his group authored and Hepatology Communications recently posted. The paper, based on IU Health's experience with its first 113 resmetirom patients, shares the group's practical experience developing processes to work closely with the specialty pharmacies dispensing resmetirom and, finally, concludes that a more engaged patient management strategy might reduce drug discontinuation to a level comparable with clinical trials.  00:47:21 - Expert: Scott Friedman on Gene Therapy, Diversity of Stellate Cell Types, Other Basic Liver ScienceScott and Roger cover a range of basis science topics in a fast-moving 19-minute discussion. It starts with Scott discussing the increasing acceptance that gene therapy is an acceptable way to treat a range of liver diseases, many of which are orphan or ultra-orphan but, in fact, include potential gene therapies for non-cirrhotic MASH and MASH cirrhosis. He notes that in addition to classic gene therapy, which introduces protective gene variants into the systems of patients with the risky variants, gene therapy is now looking to introduce FGF-21 into patients through genetic modification. From there, the conversation covers CAR-T therapy, the increasing ability to identify many different types of stellate cells and the idea that the most effective therapy for eary fibrosis, advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis might require fundamentally different kinds of interventions. The two final elements are the idea that what we now call "MASH" may be several diseases with different etiologies with similar manifestations and a passionate call for all of us to support maintaining NIH funding in whatever ways we can.01:06:45 - Business ReportAs Roger copes with his laryngitis, AI voices deliver an abbreviated business report

This podcast will emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary care and use of established protocols in treating these patients, particularly when considering a bridge to liver transplantation, and discuss specific considerations for patients with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).=

Today we welcome back Karla Adkins to share her inspiring journey of freedom from alcohol, faith, and transformation. Karla's story is one of resilience and hope, offering a candid look at her struggles with alcohol, shame, and vulnerability—and how she found freedom through faith and sharing her inspiring story.  Karla reflects on her initial reluctance to share her experiences with liver failure publicly. Hearing how her story touched others gave her the courage to keep sharing, creating a ripple effect of hope for women struggling to control their drinking. Karla dives deep into the challenges of confronting shame, the healing power of vulnerability, and the transformation that comes from building a personal relationship with Jesus. She recounts her battle with liver failure and cirrhosis, her wake-up call to surrender her life to God, and the profound shift from seeing faith as a religion to experiencing it as an intimate relationship.  Together, Christy, Meade, and Karla explore the misconceptions surrounding sobriety and the subtle but dangerous grip alcohol can have on our lives. Karla emphasizes the importance of understanding its impact—not just on our bodies but on our relationships and spiritual health. Karla's testimony highlights how vulnerability can lead to healing—not just for the person sharing, but for everyone who hears it. She encourages listeners to view fear as an opportunity for growth and to take the leap toward freedom, no matter how uncertain the path may seem. Her gratitude for the chance to share her journey shines through, offering a beacon of hope for anyone facing their own struggle with alcohol. Today's episode is a reminder that no struggle is too great, and no story is too small to make an impact.

Common risk factors of liver cancer:•Cirrhosis or liver scarring and it's underlying risk factors (20% of cases of liver cancer form without cirrhosis present, yet in the presence of or more of the below conditions) •Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (formerly, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) of which obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol are risk factors •Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C (transmitted via body fluids, commonly during sex, childbirth (mother to fetus) or with IV drug use) •Alcohol •Smoking •Aflatoxin (a fungus that may grow on grains and nuts improperly store in hot and humid environments) Common symptoms of liver cancer:•None•Abdominal discomfort•Abdominal swelling •Nausea or vomiting•Gastrointestinal bleeding•Weight loss•Loss of appetite •Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)•Easy bruising or bleeding•Persistent itching•Fatigue•Fever Populations at increased risk for liver cancer:Nationally, the highest rates are seen in Asian/Pacific Islanders and American Indian/Alaskan Natives. Rising rates have been noted in the Latinx population. Globally, rates are actually highest outside the US, in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.

Contributor: Travis Barlock MD Educational Pearls: How do you differentiate between compensated and decompensated cirrhosis? Use the acronym VIBE to look for signs of being decompensated. V-Volume Cirrhosis can cause volume overload through a variety of mechanisms such as by increasing pressure in the portal vein system and the decreased production of albumin. Look for pulmonary edema (dyspnea, orthopnea, wheezing/crackles, coughing up frothy pink sputum, etc.) or a tense abdomen. I-Infection The ascitic fluid can become infected with bacteria, a complication called Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP). Look for abdominal pain, fever, hypotension, and tachycardia. Diagnosis is made with ascitic fluid cell analyses (polymorphonuclear neutrophils >250/mm3) B-Bleeding Another consequence of increased portal pressure is that blood backs up into smaller blood vessels, including those in the esophagus. Over time, this increased pressure can result in the development of dilated, fragile veins called esophageal varices, which are prone to bleeding. Look for hematemesis, melena, lightheadedness, and pale skin. E-Encephalopathy A failing liver also does not clear toxins which can affect the brain. Look for asterixis (flapping motion of the hands when you tell the patient to hold their hands up like they are going to stop a bus) Other complications to look out for.

Today, I'm going to share 22 signs of a magnesium deficiency. Sixty percent of magnesium is in the bone, 20% is in the muscle, 19% is in the soft tissue, and 1% is in the blood. Magnesium deficiency is the most overlooked deficiency because it cannot be detected by a blood test. The top causes of magnesium deficiency include: • Consumption of sugar and refined carbs • Alcohol consumption • Cirrhosis of the liver • NPK fertilizer leads to crops that are low in magnesium • Malabsorption from gut inflammation • Diuretics • PPIs • Gastric bypass surgery • Low vitamin D • Inflammation Diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease are all associated with low magnesium. The best sources of magnesium are leafy greens, almonds, and dark chocolate, but some of these foods contain oxalates. Oxalates block the absorption of magnesium. Meat, cheese, and shellfish contain magnesium and do not contain oxalates. Here are 22 surprising signs of magnesium deficiency: • Anxiety • Insomnia • Depression • Migraines • Restless leg syndrome • Muscle cramps • Fatigue • Tourette's syndrome • Oxidative cholesterol • High homocysteine levels • High blood pressure • Calcification of the arteries • Arrhythmias • Stroke • Metabolic syndrome • Polycystic ovarian syndrome • Kidney stones • Higher levels of calcium in the blood • Inflammation • Nystagmus • Asthma Neuromuscular excitability, or tetany, is the number 1 earliest sign of a magnesium deficiency. Tetany is a twitching of the muscles, often affecting the left eye. Magnesium is required for proper nerve function. When you're deficient, the nerves become more excited, leading to faster nerve impulses.
