    Talk Liver To Me - Global Updates on Hepatitis E: How Should We Manage Acute and Chronic Infection?

    Hepatitis E is a globally prevalent infection with diverse clinical manifestations, ranging from self-limiting acute hepatitis to chronic infection in immunosuppressed patients. Its presentation and epidemiology vary significantly between regions, influencing diagnostic and management strategies. Despite increasing recognition, uncertainty remains around who to test, when to treat, and how to manage chronic disease effectively. In this podcast, we bring together perspectives from Europe and Asia to explore key differences in clinical practice, emerging evidence, and practical approaches to care.   Host: Thomas Marjot (Kings College London) Guests: Tobias Böttler (Universitätsklinikum Freiburg), Siddharth Sridhar (University of Hong Kong) This episode is also available on EASL Campus: https://easlcampus.eu/tltm/episode-12 Thank you to our healthcare industry partners for their support.

    Talk Liver To Me - MASLD and HFpEF: Do We Need a Shared Treatment Strategy?

    Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are increasingly recognised as manifestations of a shared cardiometabolic disorder. Driven by overlapping risk factors such as obesity and insulin resistance, these conditions frequently coexist and may interact through liver–heart crosstalk. Despite this, they are typically managed separately, with limited disease-specific therapies and suboptimal outcomes. In this podcast, we explore whether a more integrated approach could improve diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment.  Host: Cyrielle Caussy (Lyon 1 University and Hospices Civils de Lyon) Guests: Zannad Faiez (University of Lorraine, Nancy), Pinelopi Manousou (Imperial College London) This episode is also available on EASL Campus: https://easlcampus.eu/tltm/episode-12 Talk Liver To Me is supported by Opella.

    Talk Liver To Me - Chasing the perfect SLD preclinical model

    Steatotic liver disease (SLD) research relies heavily on preclinical models, yet no single model can fully capture the complexity of human disease. In this episode, we explore the new EASL position paper on preclinical SLD models. From MASLD and MetALD to organoids and precision-cut liver slices, we discuss the strengths, limitations, and translational relevance of today's most widely used models. How do we choose the right model, and are we any closer to finding the perfect one? Based on EASL position paper on preclinical models of steatotic liver disease Host: Rui Castro (University of Lisbon)  Speakers: Mathias Heikenwälder (University of Tübingen) and Suchira Gallage (University of Tübingen) This episode is also available on EASL Campus: https://easlcampus.eu/tltm/episode-11 This programme is intended for health care professionals only and is provided for educational purposes.

    Talk Liver To Me - Haemochromatosis in 2026: Who Needs Testing and Who Needs Treatment?

    Haemochromatosis remains one of the most common inherited metabolic disorders, yet it is frequently underdiagnosed and inconsistently managed in clinical practice. With widespread use of iron studies and genetic testing, clinicians are increasingly faced with questions around interpretation, penetrance, and clinical significance. In this podcast, we explore current challenges in diagnosis and management, focusing on who should be tested, how to interpret results, and which patients benefit from intervention in modern hepatology practice.  Host: Thomas Marjot (King's College, London) Speakers: John Ryan (Beaumont Hospital, Dublin) and Heinz Zoller (Medical University of Innsbruck) This episode is also available on EASL Campus: https://easlcampus.eu/tltm/episode-10

    Talk Liver To Me - Liver Transplantation: Rise of the machines

    In this episode, we discuss the first pig-to-human liver xenotransplantation and the breakthroughs behind the revival of xenotransplantation, examining its potential and remaining challenges. We also explore the accelerating field of machine perfusion, clarifying different approaches and reviewing the evidence supporting their role in organ assessment, optimisation, and DCD utilisation. Host: Sarwa Darwish Murad (Erasmus University Rotterdam) Speakers: Jeroen de Jonge (Erasmus University Rotterdam) and Matthew Armstrong (University Hospital Birmingham) This episode is also available on EASL Campus: https://easlcampus.eu/tltm/episode-09

    Talk Liver To Me - Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis: Time to Rethink the Rules?

    Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) remains a major complication of cirrhosis - but rising antimicrobial resistance and emerging data are challenging long-standing practices. In this episode, we review current evidence on primary and secondary prophylaxis, resistance patterns, albumin use, and treatment strategies. How should clinicians balance prevention with antimicrobial stewardship? And where might practice need to evolve in 2026? Host: Thomas Marjot (King's College London) Speakers:  Bogdan Procopet (Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Cluj-Napoca) and Alastair O'Brien (Royal Free Hospital, London)  This episode is also available on EASL Campus: https://easlcampus.eu/tltm/episode-08
