Introducing Liver Lineup: Updates & Unfiltered Insights — an exciting new podcast delivering timely, candid perspectives on the most pressing topics in the fast-moving world of hepatology. Created by Nancy Reau, MD, and Kimberly Brown, MD, and hosted by HCPLive, this series dives into the cutting edge of liver disease research, clinical care, and real-world practice. Intended for hepatologists, gastroenterologists, and other clinicians managing liver disease, Liver Lineup will unpack the latest research, debate emerging controversies, and spotlight developments that could shape — or sharpen — day-to-day practice, all with unfiltered perspective and clarity. Brown is division chief of gastroenterology and hepatology and the Associate Medical Director of the Henry Ford Hospital Transplant Institute at Henry Ford Hospital. She is also a Professor of Medicine at Wayne State University Reau is a professor of internal medicine, the Richard B. Capps Chair of Hepatology, Associate Director of Solid Organ Transplantation, and the section chief of Hepatology at Rush University Medical Center. In the inaugural episode, Brown and Reau introduce the mission behind Liver Lineup and share why they created the podcast. Driven by a shared commitment to education, clinical excellence, and elevating the conversation around liver disease, the hosts describe their hope to offer practicing clinicians a clear, concise, and engaging way to keep up with the latest news and innovations in hepatology. They aim to highlight data that's not only new, but meaningful — spotlighting developments that can improve patient care today and shape best practices tomorrow. Together, the Brown and Reau set the stage for what's to come: expert commentary on major liver meetings including Digestive Disease Week, European Association for the Study of the Liver Congress, The Liver Meeting from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, and the American College of Gastroenterology Annual Meeting; coverage of key topics like MASLD, liver cancer, viral hepatitis, and transplant; and conversations with colleagues across the hepatology spectrum. From debates over practice-changing data to discussions on care pathways and diagnostics, Liver Lineup aims to keep clinicians informed, engaged, and ready to translate insight into impact. Looking ahead, Brown and Reau preview upcoming episodes covering major hepatology updates from Digestive Disease Week 2025 and European Association for the Study of the Liver Congress 2025 — with more to follow throughout the year.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guests: Cadman L. Leggett, M.D., and Chamil C. Codipilly, M.D. Occasional heartburn from gastroesophageal reflux is usually nothing more than an occasional nuisance for most patients.  However, when the reflux becomes chronic, it can become more serious.  One complication is Barrett's esophagus. On occasion, Barrett's can develop into esophageal adenocarcinoma, an aggressive malignancy with a survival rate of only around 20% at 5 years.  Although usually seen in those with chronic acid reflux, Barrett's can occasionally occur in those without any clinical evidence of acid reflux.  When should a patient with acid reflux receive an upper endoscopy?  What's the significance of finding Barrett's esophagus on an endoscopy?  How often does Barrett's develop into esophageal cancer and does treatment prevent this from happening?  In this podcast, these are just some of the questions I'll be asking our guests, Cadman L. Leggett, M.D., and Chamil C. Codipilly, M.D., both from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss Barrett's Esophagus.

Send us a textThis week we bring back our friend and friend of the show, Dr. Ashish S. Patel! Dr. Patel takes us on a global journey through the evolving landscape of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease treatment, revealing contrasts between approaches across continents and highlighting gaps in how new medications reach children.While adult IBD patients have benefited from an explosion of treatment options over the last two decades, children remain limited primarily to anti-TNF biologics as their only FDA-approved options. This forces physicians to fight insurance battles for access to newer medications or enroll patients in clinical trials that come years too late. "We have to bring evaluation of these medications to pediatrics concurrently with adult populations," Dr. Patel explains, sharing how advocacy efforts aim to shift this paradigm.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when comparing treatment philosophies worldwide. At the World Congress in Buenos Aires, nutritional therapy, probiotics, and dietary interventions dominated discussions—a striking contrast to North American conferences featuring pharmaceutical companies. This reveals how resource availability shapes medical approaches, with Latin American physicians developing expertise in nutritional interventions while North American practices focus on biologics.Dr. Patel's most hopeful insights come from current research aiming to personalize treatment based on a patient's unique profile. Studies collecting genetic information, microbiome data, and environmental exposures may eventually allow doctors to determine the optimal intervention—whether medication, diet modification, or environmental change—for each child at diagnosis. "In the near future, at least for certain types of IBD, we're talking about something that's curative rather than just therapeutic," he shares, offering hope that we're moving beyond symptom management toward addressing root causes.Join us for this eye-opening conversation that challenges conventional thinking about how we research, develop, and implement treatments for one of medicine's most complex childhood conditions.Links: ImproveCareNowNorth American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN)Let's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

El doctor Huerta, nos cuenta sobre un estudio publicado en Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, el cual identifica tres condiciones que aumentan significativamente el riesgo de daño hepático en personas que consumen alcohol.

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)

Many people confuse fatty liver disease with cirrhosis. In this podcast, Salinas Valley Health gastroenterologist Vikram Patel, MD, clarifies the distinctions between the two, revealing why early intervention in fatty liver disease is vital to avoid the irreversible consequences of cirrhosis.

April 19 is World Liver Day, a day to raise awareness about the health of our often-overlooked yet vital liver. Liver diseases are a leading cause of mortality in the Philippines, accounting for 27.3 per 1,000 deaths, according to a 2023 study published in the Annals of Hepatology.Experts also warn that 10-20% of Filipinos may have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which can lead to serious complications if left untreated.To share tips on how to take care of our liver, we spoke with Dr. Maria Vanessa H. De Villa, the first surgeon in the country to perform a pediatric liver transplant and the director of The Medical City's Center for Liver Disease Management and Transplantation.Interview by Edg Adrian EvaAudio editing by Jayson Mariñas

00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 6 Episode 2Surfing the MASH Tsunami continues its coverage of the AASLD Emerging Trends Conference on MASLD, MetALD and ALD. This week, the panelists focus on disease epidemiology and what it can teach us about the relative importance of alcohol and diet on disease progression. Our newsmaker, hepatology KOL and frequent Surfer Hannes Hagstrom, discusses what a recent paper demonstrates about the impact of MASLD on 15-year mortality and cause of death and how this information can improve patient care. Finally, our Expert, Shelbyville, Indiana internist Emily Ann Andeya, discusses her path from practicing internal medicine to focus on liver health (HINT: the common theme is insulin resistance).00:04:40 - IntroductionHost Roger Green briefly describes this episode's three sections and one key lesson from each.00:05:49 - Roundtable: Highlights from the AASLD Emerging Trends Conference, Part 2 The second portion of our Roundtable focuses on relative impact of alcohol and diet on disease progression and overall mortality and morbidity. It starts with Aleksander Krag sharing the highlights of his epidemiology presentation at the Emerging Trends Conference. Dr. Krag points out that while the vast majority of SLD patient live with MASLD, the vast majority of hospitalized patients and those living with late-stage cirrhosis live with ALD. Similarly, for the average patient, living with MetALD is more lethal than living with MASLD. Aleksander points out another challenge in defining where a patient lives on the ALD -> MetALD -> MASLD spectrum: patients' level of alcohol consumption is likely to change over time and many ALD or MetALD cirrhosis patients stop drinking altogether. The rest of this section considers the importance of stigma in correctly classifying patients and why genetics may become key to a message that minimizes patient stigma.00:25:50 - Newsmaker: Hepatology Researcher and KOL Hannes Hagstrom of the Karolinska Institute joins Roger to discuss cause-specific mortality in Swedish MASLD patientsOn March 24, the Journal of Hepatology posted a paper titled Cause-specific mortality in 13,099 patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in Sweden. Co-author Hannes Hagstrom joins Roger to discuss the paper's key findings and implications for care. The key finding: living with MASLD leads to a significant increase in 15-year mortality. The most frequent cause of death among MASLD patients is cardiovascular disease, but the greatest increases in relative risk were due to HCC (HR ~ 35) and extra-hepatic cancers (HR ~ 26). Hannes points out that these results can serve as the beginning of a process where physicians can compute the risk at which individual patients place themselves through diet or alcohol patterns, which can aid patient understanding of the disease.00:44:22 - Experts: Internist Emily Ann Andeya discusses how she developed the commitment to treating liver disease that made her a "unicorn" in the words of one AASLD panelist and also brought her to attend the Emerging Trends Conference last monthRoger first met Emily Ann Andeya when she asked a question at a session of last fall's The Liver Meeting, and again at the Emerging Trends Conference, where Emily and her colleagues were likely the only primary care physicians in the room. Emily describes the path by which she went from wanting to be a cardiologist during medical school in the Philippines through years of nursing in the US to primary care practice and, how, focus on the liver as a key to overall metabolic health. Listen as Emily explains the importance of understanding insulin resistance in her transition, and how her vision affects the way she and her colleagues practice, the goals they set, and the exceptional levels of care they achieve.01:08:56 Business Report

The gut microbiome has become one of my favorite topics, especially since, like many of my fellow scleroderma warriors, I experience stomach issues. Today, we dive deep into the intestinal challenges that come with our diagnosis with Dr. Joy Liu. She provides an in-depth and insightful discussion, breaking down these complex issues with great clarity.

If mealtimes feel like a battle in your home, you're not alone. Many parents struggle with picky eating, and I've experienced it firsthand with my daughter — who, like many kids, has earned the label of a "picky eater" in our family. But how do you know when picky eating is more than just a phase? I recently heard about Pediatric Feeding Disorders (PFDs) and was shocked, confused, and intrigued by the topic. When I learned how PFDs affect millions of children, yet they often go undiagnosed or misunderstood, leaving parents feeling frustrated and helpless, I knew that I had to learn more and spread the word. That's why in this episode of Chick Chat, we sit down with Jaclyn Pederson, CEO of Feeding Matters, to break it all down for us. Who is Jaclyn Pederson? With over a decade of experience in program development, Jaclyn Pederson's broad knowledge of programming in the public and social sectors includes program and strategic initiative design, fund development, special events, grant writing, and community engagement. A system thinker and positive team builder, she uses transformational leadership principles to develop energized and efficient workgroups that influence significant organizational and systemic change for all affected by pediatric feeding disorder – such as the development of the expanded PFD Alliance. Jaclyn also manages Feeding Matters' strategic partnerships with numerous professional associations including American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, and the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN). What Did We Discuss? In this episode, Jaclyn and I discussed everything about pediatric feeding disorders — from signs and symptoms to navigating and overcoming PFDs. Jaclyn also shares her expertise on when to seek help, how feeding disorders can impact a child's development, and what treatment options are available. Here are several of the questions that we covered in our conversation: What are Pediatric Feeding Disorders (PFDs)?  Can you tell us a bit about your personal experience with PFDs?  How common are PFDs?  What should families know about PFDs?  What are the signs and symptoms of PFDs that parents should be aware of?  What myths or misconceptions do you often encounter about picky eaters versus feeding disorders? How can a parent know when it's time to get their child evaluated for “picky eating”? Is there a connection between feeding disorders and developmental delays? How can parents advocate for their children when seeking help for feeding challenges? What does treatment for a PFD look like?  What advice do you have for parents feeling overwhelmed by their child's feeding challenges and looking for support? If you think your child's mealtime struggles go beyond picky eating, this episode is a must-listen. Jaclyn shares expert insights to help parents feel more confident in identifying and addressing Pediatric Feeding Disorders. Listen now, and don't forget to share this episode with a fellow parent who may need this information!

His most recent work involves developing and evaluating a training curriculum for therapists to deliver a manual-based intervention for food selectivity - or extremely narrow dietary in children with ARFID.Hosted by: Michelle Dawson MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, BCS-SWatch the full video interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@speechtherapypd

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. (@ChutkaMD) Guest: Jana Al Hashash, M.D., M.S. Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, but on occasion, it can involve much more than the bowel. The disease can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus. It's estimated that more than half a million people in the U.S. have Crohn's disease and over time, it's become more common, not only in the U.S., but in other parts of the world as well. It can result in a variety of complications and also results in an increased risk of colon cancer. The topic for this podcast is Crohn's Disease and my guest is Jana Al Hashash, M.D., M.S., from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology from the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. We'll be discussing the typical presenting symptoms of Crohn's, the recommended evaluation of a patient with suspected Crohn's and the current treatment options.
