Fatty liver on an incidental scan two years ago and nobody followed it up. Now that I am losing weight I would like to know what to re-measure.

With resmetirom now available for MASH, combination approaches are being explored, so the standard of care in this area is moving faster than most threads assume.

What I actually want to know is whether normalised enzymes tell you anything about fibrosis, and what the right follow-up measurement is.

Practical detail welcome, however dull — the duller the better.

Liver imaging follow-up for liver and MASH: FibroScan at baseline showed CAP score 332 dB/m (moderate steatosis) and stiffness 10.8 kPa (possible fibrosis). Diagnosed with NAFLD.

After 12 months: CAP dropped to 225 dB/m (minimal steatosis) and stiffness normalized to 5.3 kPa. Hepatologist says the liver is essentially healing itself as the metabolic stress resolves.

GLP-1 agonists may become first-line NASH therapy. The Phase 3 data on semaglutide for NASH is very promising.

Liver enzyme update related to liver and MASH: I had mildly elevated ALT/AST at baseline (likely NAFLD). After 9 months on GLP-1 therapy:

MarkerBaselineCurrentNormal Range
ALT77297-56 U/L
AST552310-40 U/L
GGT92319-48 U/L
ALP1028444-147 U/L

FibroScan also improved — liver stiffness from 8.5 kPa to 6.2 kPa. The evidence for GLP-1 agonists in NAFLD/NASH is very promising.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly.

ATTAIN trial (survodutide) context for liver and MASH: survodutide, a GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist, showed -18.7% body weight at 46 weeks in the Phase 3 ATTAIN trial. NASH resolution was achieved in ~60% of patients[1].

This is relevant to liver and MASH because survodutide's glucagon agonism specifically targets hepatic lipid metabolism — making it potentially the best-in-class agent for NASH/MAFLD comorbid with obesity.
