The treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease involves physical activity, weight loss, and management of comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia). In 2024, the American Food and Drug Administration provisionally approved resmetirom for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. Other promising molecules are being evaluated (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, fibroblast growth factor 21 agonist).

Background: &Aim:Resmetirom is the first FDA-approved drug for metabolic-associated liver disease(MASLD) in F2-F3 patients with steatohepatitis. Non-invasive criteria have been proposed for initiating treatment; however, these have not been validated in clinical practice. We validated the proposed criteria and established new guidelines for initiating resmetirom treatment in clinical practice.

Purpose: Resmetirom, a liver-targeted thyroid hormone receptor-β (THR-β) agonist, used to treat MASH, shares a similar mechanism of action with levothyroxine, a nonselective (THR-α/β) receptor agonist used to treat hypothyroidism. Given the potential effect of levothyroxine on THR-β, we hypothesized that it may have beneficial effects in MASH patients.

Methods: We used TriNetX to examine patients aged ≥ 18 years with MASH treated with levothyroxine from 1/1/16 to 1/1/25.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its progressive form, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), are among the most prevalent causes of chronic liver disease worldwide, closely linked to the global rise in overweight and obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Until recently, treatment options were limited to lifestyle interventions, with no approved pharmacologic therapies. Resmetirom, a liver-directed, selective thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR-β) agonist, is a promising disease-modifying agent that targets hepatic lipid metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis.

Objective: The study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of various strategies for screening for MASLD-related advanced hepatic fibrosis (fibrosis stage > 2) using the fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE) in persons with obesity.

Methods: We created a decision-analytic model comparing three screening strategies: no screening, TE, and FIB-4 followed by TE. We used a Markov transition model to track liver state, with prevalence and transition probabilities specific to the population with obesity.
