Episode 2. Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease with Dr Ferry Rusli
In this episode I am joined by Dr Ferry Rusli, an experienced gastroenterologist and hepatologist to discuss non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in a four-part series on hepatology.
Ferry discusses –
· the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as it applies to the Australian population
· non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
· cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure as sequela of unmanaged NASH
Ferry discusses the relevance of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to the metabolic syndrome and some key management points, in particular focussing on controlling body mass index. There is much to learn from this conversation with Ferry, I hope you enjoy the conversation.
