Webcast: Non-Invasive Testing With Janet Gripshover
July 2025
In this in-depth and practical discussion, Janet Gripshover, NP from Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, explores the evolving role of non-invasive testing (NITs) in the diagnosis and risk stratification of MASLD (Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease) and MASH (Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis).

Webcast: Comparing F3 and F4 Fibrosis With Scott Springer
August 2025
Join Scott Springer, PA-C, from Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, NY, for a case-based clinical discussion on how to evaluate and manage F3 vs. F4 fibrosis in patients with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) and MASH, presented through the GHAPP MASLD/MASH Community Network and sponsored by Madrigal Pharmaceuticals. Using a detailed side-by-side comparison of a fictional patient "Sam," Scott demonstrates how to interpret key non-invasive testing modalities—including FIB-4, ELF, and FibroScan—to stage liver fibrosis, determine candidacy for emerging therapies like resmetirom (Rezdiffra), and identify when liver biopsy may still be necessary. Learn how changes in platelet count, ELF score, and liver stiffness (kPa) help distinguish advanced fibrosis (F3) from cirrhosis (F4) and how this affects treatment decisions, HCC surveillance, and portal hypertension management. Scott also emphasizes the role of GLP-1 therapy, aggressive cardiometabolic risk reduction, and lifestyle counseling as core strategies in MASLD care. This session is a practical guide for GI and hepatology providers navigating MASLD staging, treatment eligibility, and long-term monitoring in 2025 and beyond.
