Researchers identify high-IgA MASLD subtype linked to liver-related events

Researchers have identified a subtype of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) linked to liver-related events.

The subtype, characterized by high levels of IgA, is associated with an increased risk of serious liver-related events, even in patients without advanced fibrosis.

This discovery could help in the development of targeted therapies for MASLD.
