Bookmark 🔖 for rounds and wards! Check out our @LiverFellow ‘Back to Basics’ approach to ascites infographic! SAAG, protein, etiology and pathophys! #VictoriaKusztos @MayoMN_IMRES @mmbilalkhalid @HopkinsGIHep @VCU_Liver Appreciate the shoutout @BlaneyMD!
A great one-pager on ascites. This series is producing excellent easy to use educational material! 👏 Remember to do a diagnostic tap in patients with cirrhosis and ascites who are hospitalized—SBP is often asymptomatic! @LiverFellow #MedEd

AASLD is deeply concerned by the May 29 Executive Order directing a review of U.S. childhood vaccine recommendations, including #hepatitisA and #hepatitisB vaccination policies. Vaccination remains one of the most effective tools for preventing #liverdisease. AASLD strongly supports maintaining evidence-based hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccination recommendations, which have helped dramatically reduce infections, chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer in the U.S. Protecting children from preventable infectious diseases must remain a national priority.
