Conference Coverage > AASLD 2015
Nov 19, 2015 | Adam Hochron
A considerable amount of research has been done looking at how liver disease can progress in patients, but a recent study looked at possible regression in conditions like cirrhosis and fibrosis. Ana Maria Crissien, MD, from the Scripps Green Hospital in California discussed the results of this research during the annual Liver Meeting in San Francisco.

Q&A with Barry Schlansky, MD, from Oregon Health & Science University: Taking a New Look at Liver Transplants for Obese Patients VIDEO
Nov 18, 2015 | AASLD 2015 | Adam Hochron
In the past, patients deemed obese (especially those who were morbidly obese) may have been passed over for a life-saving liver transplant. A recent study showed they may be just as viable candidates for the procedure as others in the patient population.

Price is still the main obstacle in getting hepatitis C direct-acting antivirals to nations that need them, panelists agreed at a "global challenges" forum at the 2015 Liver Meeting in San Francisco, CA.
Who Gets a Liver? Transplant Centers Differ on Substance Abuse Abstinence Rules
Nov 17, 2015 | AASLD 2015 | Gale Scott

HCV: Making it Rare in the US Will Cost $106 Billion, Study Finds
Nov 17, 2015 | AASLD 2015 | Gale Scott
The annual US cost of HCV treatment before direct-acting antivirals was $7 billion and since then it has grown to $21 billion, but that cost should drop when generics arrive, to $14 million annually by 2030. Making it a rare disease over the next 25 years will take $106 billion, researchers project.
