RE:CROI Video/Slides on NASH & HIV Nice find.
We had grand rounds on NASH yesterday. The gist of it is there are no great therapies approved at this time. As docs, we almost don’t look for it because we can’t treat it other than treating risk factors.
I am very confident TH with present good NASH data in a few weeks and have a conference call to discuss results and steps forward.
This price is a gift.

Then she talks about treatments and shows a study from Spain that switching from one ART to a new one showed it helped (but only 37 patients and the Q&A talks more about it), but basically saying diet and Vitamin E. More or less shows there's no real solution to this epidemic yet. Would make you excited that if you had a meaningful reduction, you' d have a good market just in HIV marketplace.
On weight loss treatment, in Q&A a S.Afr doctor says most of his patients are lean, so weight loss is out of the question. In response, 1 in 4 are lean NASH, so need something more.
