MASLD affects nearly one in three adults worldwide, yet many patients remain undiagnosed until advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis develops. So, which patients should clinicians actually be screening? When is a FIB-4 enough, and when should we move to elastography or hepatology referral? And are we finally entering an era where we can meaningfully treat MASH?

In this Beyond Journal Club episode, we unpack the evolving language of steatotic liver disease and take a close look at two major trials: MAESTRO-NASH studying resmetirom, the first FDA-approved liver-directed therapy for MASH, and ESSENCE, evaluating semaglutide in biopsy-confirmed disease.

Along the way, we explore what these biopsy-based histologic endpoints really mean, why placebo responses were surprisingly high, and whether improvements in steatohepatitis and fibrosis will ultimately translate into better clinical outcomes for patients.

This episode is for clinicians trying to understand where the field is headed, which patients deserve closer attention, and how metabolic liver disease is increasingly becoming part of everyday primary care and hospital medicine.

Can AI manage post-op atrial fibrillation or does medicine still require human judgment? Using post-op AFib as a case study, we explore where algorithms help, where evidence falls short, and why clinical context still matters. When evidence is incomplete, and every patient is different, can AI truly practice medicine or only assist the clinicians who do?

A patient with AKI and hyperkalemia says they’re still peeing — does that rule out post-obstructive AKI?

A patient arrives in the ED with uremic symptoms and a newly created AV fistula. Can you safely use it, or do you need to place a temporary dialysis catheter?

And the classic inpatient dilemma: your heart failure patient looks better after diuresis, but the creatinine is rising. Is it time to stop, or should you keep going?
