Longitudinal Weight Changes in MASLD: Impact on Liver Outcomes and Disease Progression

By MedXY 08/19/2026

This study reveals that weight gain exceeding 5% in MASLD patients increases liver-related event risks and liver stiffness, whereas weight loss improves liver stiffness and may reduce adverse outcomes, especially with obesity reversal.

Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome and Its Impact on Liver Fibrosis Progression and Liver-Related Events in MASLD

By MedXY 08/14/2026

This article reviews evidence linking cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome stages to liver fibrosis severity, progression, and liver-related events in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Higher CKM stages independently predict worse liver outcomes.

Comparative Risks of MASLD and MetALD: Insights from a Comprehensive Meta-Analysis on Hepatic and Extrahepatic Outcomes

By MedXY 10/19/2025

This meta-analysis reveals that MetALD confers higher risks of liver-related events, hepatocellular carcinoma, and extrahepatic cancers compared to MASLD, while mortality and cardiovascular risks are similar, emphasizing tailored clinical approaches.
