How is liver disease diagnosed?

Learn about common misconceptions and the pathway that you might experience to investigate and evaluate your liver's health with your health care team. Our host, Jeff McIntyre, is joined by Dr. Julia Wattacheril, MASLD Director at Columbia NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and expert clinician and researcher, to zoom out and illuminate the big picture of liver health as well as the process and techniques that you might encounter.

With as many as one in three people in the world experiencing liver disease (especially metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, known as MASLD and colloquially, fatty liver disease), this knowledge is extremely valuable.

Learn more about MASLD and help raise awareness through GLI's Global Fatty Liver Day, on June 12, 2025.
