FAQ: What Role Do NITs Play in Risk Stratification & Patient Selection—& Balancing Patient History?

Thank you to Madrigal for your support on this FAQ Video Module.In this short FAQ video module, Patrick Horne, President of GHAPP and a nurse practitioner at the University of Florida, discusses the critical role of noninvasive tests (NITs) in risk stratification and patient selection for patients with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH). He explains how serum biomarkers and imaging help establish baseline fibrosis, clarify disease severity, and guide clinical decision-making in a condition with variable and non-linear progression. This overview emphasizes the importance of integrating NITs with a thorough patient history and physical exam to better understand fibrosis stage and optimize patient evaluation.Visit the GHAPP Digital Hub or GHAPP ACE 2.0 app for more gastroenterology and hepatology education.
