🧠 Sometimes, the most meaningful research questions begin with one patient.

A patient with MASLD + unrecognized depression struggling with treatment made me ask: How much depression are we missing in ACLD?

That question became a national study now published in @AGA_GHAdvances.

Among U.S. adults with ACLD:
➡️ ~1 in 7 had comorbid depression
➡️ Burden increased after the COVID-19 pandemic
➡️ Women & young adults particularly vulnerable
Liver care cannot stop at the liver.

🚨 Obesity is reshaping liver transplantation.
Our latest study analyzed nearly 180,000 liver transplant recipients across more than 3 decades using the @UNOSNews transplant registry.
📆 1988–2022
📈 Mean BMI: 24.7 → 28.9 kg/m²
🔮 Projected BMI by 2050: 30.1 kg/m²

Incredibly proud to have led this work.
Grateful to @Bubu_Banini, @YaleFattyLiver & our entire team.
