MASLD: Disease, Disorder, or Just a Diagnosis?

"The 'D' in MASLD — Does It Belong?"

Everyone's talking about MASLD — but are we all agreeing on what it actually is? In this episode, we dive deep into one of hepatology's most hotly debated questions: does metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease truly qualify as a disease, or is it a spectrum, a risk factor, or simply a label we've slapped on a very complicated process?

We unpack the very real clinical consequences of how we define this condition.

Whether you're a clinician, a researcher, or someone navigating a MASLD diagnosis yourself, this one will challenge how you think about the liver — and the language we use to talk about it.
