- Integrate available non-invasive tests into clinical practice for the identification, risk-stratification, and monitoring of patients with MASLD/MASH.
- Identify emerging treatments for MASLD/MASH and the criteria for patient eligibility.
- Outline evidence-based management strategies for individuals with MASLD/MASH, including how available therapies (e.g., GLP-1 RAs) can target multiple disease mechanisms.
