Kwashiorkor Mimicking Portal Hypertensive Ascites After Bariatric Surgery

Not all high-SAAG ascites is portal hypertension: kwashiorkor after bariatric surgery can be a convincing mimic.

Exciting time in MASLD, lots of emerging compounds.
One to know => survodutide
➡️ GLPRA/Glucagon agonist
➡️ unlike GLP, liver has glucagon receptors so survodutide acts directly on the liver
➡️ SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD 2026
- MASLD pts defined by MRI (~90%) likely with F0-2
- survodutide met co-primary endpoints
1. 84% had =>30% reduction in liver fat

Andres Duarte-Rojo, MD, is a part of a team leading Northwestern Medicine's efforts to enhance survival of patients who are preparing for liver transplantation through a personalized at-home program that assesses mobility, exercise, diet and more. This program prepares patients for transplantation and aims to reduce post-transplant complications and hospital admissions. Read the full article: breakthroughsforphysicians.n…

Alcohol use disorder accounts for 5% of deaths worldwide annually, and there is an urgent need for new treatments.
A new study found that GLP-1 reduces heavy drinking days in treatment seeking people with alcohol use disorder and obesity: spkl.io/6012AfU04
ALT Figure showing effects of once-weekly semaglutide compared with placebo on\nreduction in heavy drinking days and total alcohol consumption. Changes from baseline (week 0) to follow-up (week 26) are shown for mean percent heavy drinking days in the last 30 days (A), and mean alcohol (g) consumed during the past 30 days (B), in participants randomly assigned to semaglutide 2\u00B74 mg (n=54) or placebo (n=54). Participant level changes by treatment group are in appendix 1 (p 15). SEM=standard error of the mean. Copyright: 2026 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd. CC BY 4.0.
Excited to share our new review in The Lancet @eClinicalMed 🗒️ 🌟
We explore how early risk prediction, subphenotyping, and machine learning 🤖 can transform MASLD care and identify patients at risk for progression.

The kind of studies I LOVE to see
Too many people are put on lifelong levothyroxine for borderline TSH elevations or nonspecific symptoms, then never reassessed, yet trials show little benefit for most with subclinical hypothyroidism and risks from overtreatment like a-fib and bone loss. We need to normalize “deprescribing” thyroid hormone when it was started for borderline labs, low doses, or no clear diagnosis, and routinely see if patients can come off instead of renewing forever.

The best of the best !
Andres Duarte-Rojo (@YucaSpice), MD, professor of Medicine and Surgery at Northwestern Medicine, and Susanna Miranda, DNP, APRN, lead a multidisciplinary liver transplant rehabilitation team that aims to reduce frailty and enhance survival for patients preparing for liver transplantation.

📢Check out our new study in @HEP_Journal showing that AUD pharmacotherapy is associated with:
📉 Hospitalizations & costs
‼️Especially cost-saving in those with liver disease
AUD pharmacotherapy improves both patient & healthcare system outcomes (🏥💰)
