Distinct patterns of elevation can provide valuable diagnostic clues that narrow the differential diagnosis and guide next steps. This article outlines a systematic approach to evaluating leukocytosis, emphasizing integration of clinical history, physical examination, and laboratory data. The discussion highlights both nonmalignant and malignant causes, including acute and chronic leukemias, lymphomas, and myeloproliferative disorders, and offers guidance on when to pursue advanced diagnostics. Finally, a practical evaluation algorithm is included to support clinical decision-making. By recognizing key clinical features, laboratory patterns, and risk factors associated with malignancy, clinicians can appropriately triage patients for specialist referral and ensure timely intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":48728,"journal":{"name":"Jaapa-Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants","volume":" ","pages":"26-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145716156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aprocitentan is a newly approved drug for RH, offering a mechanism unique from currently available antihypertensive drugs. It serves to block endothelin-A and endothelin-B to reduce vasoconstriction. The drug, which is taken once daily, has been shown to yield sustainable reductions in BP across various settings, and it may be especially beneficial for those with chronic kidney disease. Risks with use include fluid retention, anemia, mild hepatic enzyme elevations, and-though less common than with other endothelin antagonists-hepatotoxicity. Aprocitentan is contraindicated in pregnancy, as it includes a boxed warning for embryo-fetal toxicity.

Affecting nearly 30% of the global population, MASLD is intricately linked to metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. Primary care providers, including physician associates (PAs), play a critical role in early detection and management. This article provides an updated overview of MASLD for primary care PAs, focusing on disease pathophysiology, risk stratification, and screening recommendations. The use of noninvasive testing (eg, FIB-4, liver stiffness measurement) for diagnosis and monitoring is emphasized, and lifestyle interventions are underscored as first-line therapy. Importantly, the article highlights the recent FDA approval of resmetirom-the first pharmacologic treatment for noncirrhotic metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with moderate to advanced fibrosis-and outlines the AASLD guideline supporting its use without the need for liver biopsy. By equipping primary care physician associates with current knowledge and practical tools, this article aims to improve early identification, guide appropriate referral, and enhance outcomes for patients at risk for MASLD progression. It also provides guidance around use of resmetirom in primary care, reviewing the drug's indications, dosing, drug-drug interactions, and safety monitoring. Finally, it highlights semaglutide as an emerging treatment option for noncirrhotic MASH.</p>","PeriodicalId":48728,"journal":{"name":"Jaapa-Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants","volume":" ","pages":"21-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145716085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
