Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Hepatology focuses on the study of liver diseases, including their mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment. Recent articles explore topics such as the role of specific proteins in liver fibrosis and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein thrombosis, and the development of therapies for primary biliary cholangitis and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-associated liver disease. The journal also investigates diagnostic approaches for liver conditions like cirrhosis and hepatitis D, and the impact of various factors, including cardiometabolic risk factors and immune dysfunction, on liver disease severity and outcomes.
