Podcast: Best Practices For Patient Identification
from GHAPPcast
Stay up to date on MASH and MASLD with expert insights from nurse practitioners Sarah Dawkins of Duke University Medical Center and Edith Johannes of UCLA Health. This episode focuses on best practices for identifying at-risk patients, including those with steatosis on imaging, cardiometabolic risk factors, and elevated BMI—highlighting why early screening is critical to preventing progression to cirrhosis and liver transplant. Learn how to apply practical, non-invasive tools like FIB-4 and FibroScan to assess fibrosis risk, when to refer patients, and how to navigate common challenges such as intermediate scores and normal liver labs. With MASH becoming a leading cause of liver disease, this discussion provides actionable strategies for advanced practice providers and primary care clinicians to improve early detection and patient outcomes.
