Welcome Message

Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,

On behalf of the organizing committee, it's my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you to attend the APASL Single Topic Conference on Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) in the beautiful city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on June 28 – 30, 2024. I am honored to invite you to join our exploration of the latest advancements in the field of MAFLD.

We have curated an engaging program that includes keynote lectures, scientific sessions, panel discussions, and poster presentations with the main theme "MAFLD, More than A Fatty Liver Disease: Interplay between obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, HBV, HCV and HCC" in the field of MAFLD. Experts around the globe will be sharing their valuable insights and offering comprehensive perspectives exploring the latest developments in screening, diagnosis, assessment, pathogenesis and therapeutic approaches by participating in panel-based discussions on controversial topics and future clinical management in case-based multidisciplinary approaches. Together, we push beyond our limits of hepatological as well as multidisciplinary knowledges.

This will be a remarkable opportunity to learn from the best minds in the field establish fruitful connections for future collaborations.

Welcome to the APASL STC 2024 on MAFLD in Kaohsiung, Taiwan!

Dear Ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to the APASL Single Topic Conference on Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) held in the vibrant city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. We are delighted to have you here for this important gathering, dedicated to exploring the various facets of MAFLD and its impact on global health.

Our conference program covers a wide range of topics, including epidemiology, risk factors, and stratification of MAFLD. We will also discuss the diagnosis of steatosis and fibrosis, mechanisms of disease progression, and the metabolic characteristics associated with MAFLD development.

Additionally, we will examine the relationship between MAFLD and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as the impact of HBV and HCV infections. Cross-talk sessions between cardiologists, diabetologists, and hepatologists will foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

Furthermore, non-pharmacological approaches, therapeutic targets, clinical trials, and policy reviews for MAFLD will be discussed, providing valuable insights into prevention and management strategies.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt welcome to each and every one of you. We hope that this conference will serve as a platform for fruitful discussions, knowledge sharing, and collaborative efforts towards a better understanding and management of MAFLD.

Thank you, and enjoy the conference!
