Global Liver Institute Founder, President and CEO Donna Cryer and her fellow patient and patient advocate Terri Milton join Stephen Harrison, Louise Campbell and Roger Green to discuss the ground-breaking NASH Patient-Focused Drug Development meeting held on November 4, 2021 and some personal experiences that made PFDD such a priority.
In this conversation, patient and patient advocate Terri Milton shares her 20-year experience with NASH, cirrhosis, HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) and how related effects like hepatic encephalopathy and the issue of waiting for a liver transplant affect her life. Stephen Harrison laments that he was not Terri's physician and describes the phenomenon of "peak and shriek" when a surgeon opens a patient's midsection and finds previously unknown evidence of cirrhosis. Finally, Louise Campbell discusses the story of Keiron Dyer, a former English national team player currently awaiting a liver transplant for primary sclerosing cholangitis.
