Objective: Aim: To systematize and comprehensively analyze scientific sources and studies on metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) based on materials from the European Congress of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL - 2024)..

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: This paper analyzes the current scientific research on the prevalence, pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, prognosis, and pharmacotherapy of MASLD presented at the EASL 2024 Congress. The following methods were used in the preparation of the work: a systematic approach and bibliosemantic analysis.

Conclusion: Conclusions: Studies on the pathogenesis of MASLD progression confirm the significant role of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in increasing hepatocyte cytolysis activity, raising the concentration of cytokeratin CK-18, HbA1c, low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides, and the severity of fibrosis (FIB-4). EASL 2024 studies evaluated the diagnostic efficiency of non-invasive methods for assessing steatosis and liver fibrosis severity in MASLD (FIB-4, FibroScan®, Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF), Vibration Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE), LiverPRO, etc.). Due to the high prevalence of steatotic liver disease, comorbidities such as chronic viral hepatitis C, autoimmune hepatitis, and alcoholic liver disease - contributing to liver fibrosis progression and hepatocellular carcinoma - are significant. Promising drugs for MASLD treatment include resmethyrom, fibroblast growth factor 21 analogs (including pegosafermin), and pemvidutide, a long-acting, balanced GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist.

Hepatorenocardiac fibrosis is a group of rare, clinically and genetically heterogeneous inherited disorders affecting the development and degenerative function of the liver and kidneys. It is associated with ciliopathies, a group of diseases characterized by dysfunction of the primary cilium, a key organelle in cell signaling. We present a clinical case of ciliopathy linked to a genetic alteration in the protein TULP3 (TUB Like Protein 3) as a cause of hepatorenocardiac fibrosis.

Background: this investigation aimed to assess the correlation between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and its related indicators, as well as the ratio of triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-c), with hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis among middle-aged and elderly participants.

Methods: based on data from the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the study included adults of ages 40 years and older in the United States. To explore the correlation between TyG and its related indicators, as well as TG/HDL-c with hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis, multiple regression models were employed.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the clinical value of the serum albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) in diagnosing multiple myeloma (MM) and its differential diagnosis from other conditions such as liver and kidney diseases to provide scientific evidence for clinical decision-making.

Methods: A total of 52 newly-diagnosed MM patients from Tongxiang First People's Hospital between January 2020 and June 2024 were selected as the study group. Additionally, 56 patients newly diagnosed with liver disease and 58 patients newly diagnosed with kidney disease during the same period were used as disease control groups, along with 54 healthy individuals serving as the normal control group.

Background And Aims: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an escalating global health concern with significant implications for cancers. A better understanding of the causal relationship between NAFLD and extrahepatic cancers might help in clinical management of NAFLD and prevent its adverse outcomes.

Methods: This study encompassed two complementary approaches.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has become one of the most common progressive liver diseases worldwide, but effective treatment options are severely unmet. Carabrone, a sesquiterpene lactone from the traditional Chinese herb L., shows various pharmacological properties, whereas its effect on the improvement of MASH and the underlying mechanisms have not yet been reported.
