CHARACTERIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF METABOLIC DYSFUNCTION-ASSOCIATED STEATOTIC LIVER DISEASE ASSESSED BY HEPATIC ELASTOGRAPHY IN A CENTER IN BOGOTA
Introduction and Objectives
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent liver disease globally, with 25–30% of patients progressing to fibrosis. It is associated with complications such as cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. Transient liver elastography (TLE) is a non-invasive, reliable tool to assess hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, with lower risk than biopsy. This study aims to characterize patients with MASLD at Fundación Cardioinfantil by analyzing demographic and clinical factors, and the grade of liver steatosis and fibrosis using TLE
Materials and Methods
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent liver disease globally, with 25–30% of patients progressing to fibrosis. It is associated with complications such as cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. Transient liver elastography (TLE) is a non-invasive, reliable tool to assess hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, with lower risk than biopsy. This study aims to characterize patients with MASLD at Fundación Cardioinfantil by analyzing demographic and clinical factors, and the grade of liver steatosis and fibrosis using TLE
Results
In the interim analysis of 899 patients, elastography results met international quality standards (IQR/M 18.3). The average BMI was 27.2 kg/m2, and common comorbidities included hypertension and diabetes. Steatosis was typically moderate (LiSA S2), with a higher LiSA score in those with higher BMI (graphic 1). Fibrosis was absent in 78.3% of cases, while 21.7% showed progression (table 1) of this population 69.9% have overweight or obesity.
Conclusions
MASLD is primarily associated with metabolic diseases. This study found that higher BMI is linked to an increased risk of steatosis, and higher levels of fibrosis were seen in older patients (with no linear relationship). These patients should be prioritized for early screening and treatment, reducing complications and overall morbidity and mortality.
