1 Hour CE/CME — Live Case Rounds

Fatty Liver Case Rounds

Real-World Treatment Plans That Work

Fatty Liver Is the Metabolic Canary

“Enzymes look okay — must be fine.” Sound familiar? That assumption is silently advancing liver disease in your patients right now.

What You’re Seeing Now

  • Normal ALT/AST → chart closed, risk missed
  • Ultrasound “fatty liver” noted, no follow-up plan
  • Metabolic syndrome progressing under the surface
  • Unsure when to escalate, refer, or intervene
  • Catch high-risk patients even with “normal” enzymes
  • Use FIB-4 and fibrosis tools to stratify urgency
  • Apply a stepwise treatment ladder you can repeat
  • Know exactly when to refer and what to start now

After 60 Minutes, You’ll Be Able To

Four clinical competencies you can apply immediately:

Identify Hidden Risk

Spot MAFLD/MASH patterns even with normal liver enzymes

Interpret Key Markers

Use FIB-4, GGT, TG/HDL ratio, and fibrosis tools with confidence

Apply a Treatment Ladder

Stepwise framework from lifestyle to pharmacotherapy to nutraceuticals

Build a Monitoring Plan

Labs, imaging, follow-up intervals, and when to refer

Why This Course Was Created

“Fatty liver disease is the most common liver condition on the planet — yet most providers were never taught how to evaluate it, stage it, or treat it. We chart ‘fatty liver on ultrasound,’ close the note, and move on.

Meanwhile, MAFLD is silently progressing in patients with prediabetes, central adiposity, and metabolic syndrome — even when their liver enzymes look ‘normal.’

This course gives you a repeatable framework — built around real patient cases — so you can catch risk earlier, intervene smarter, and know exactly when to escalate.”

Built for Cardiometabolic & Primary Care Clinicians

No hepatology fellowship required. Just the practical tools to manage fatty liver with the patients you’re already seeing.

Pharmacists

Expanding metabolic health knowledge

NPs & PAs

Managing metabolic patients in primary care

Physicians

Family medicine, internal medicine, cardiometabolic

Nurses & RDs

Supporting metabolic and liver health interventions

Clinicians New to Metabolic Liver Disease

Wanting a structured approach, not GI overwhelm

Anyone Managing Metabolic Syndrome

Who wants to address the liver piece they’ve been skipping

Not a Hepatology Lecture

This is case-based, clinically grounded, and designed for the patients you’re already seeing.

Case-Based

Learn through real patient scenarios, not slides full of pathology

Actionable

Walk away with a repeatable treatment ladder for your next clinic day

Evidence-Informed

Integrates lifestyle, pharmacotherapy, and nutraceuticals where the data supports it

Complete Curriculum

What You’ll Cover in 60 Minutes

A structured walkthrough from recognition to treatment to monitoring — built around real patient cases.

1

Why Fatty Liver Is “The Metabolic Canary”

MAFLD/MASH as the liver expression of insulin resistance, visceral adiposity, and inflammation — and why “enzymes look okay” is not the same as “liver is fine”

2

Markers That Matter — What to Order & How to Interpret

ALT/AST patterns, GGT, platelets, fasting insulin, A1c, TG/HDL ratio, hs-CRP — plus FIB-4, NAFLD Fibrosis Score, and when to escalate to elastography or hepatology referral

3

Case 1: “Normal Enzymes, High Risk”

Prediabetic patient with central adiposity, fatigue, and high triglycerides — walkthrough from initial work-up to fibrosis risk tool to initial interventions and monitoring plan

4

Case 2: “Diabetes + Rising ALT + Ultrasound Fatty Liver”

T2D patient on standard meds with weight plateau and possible MASH risk — pharmacotherapy decision-making including GLP-1/GIP agents, gut/metabolic inflammation drivers, dietary levers, protein and resistance training

5

Case 3: “Advanced Risk / Fibrosis Concern”

Metabolic syndrome patient with low platelets or high FIB-4 — urgent flags, referral timing, and what can still be initiated safely while awaiting specialist

6

The Liver Recovery Ladder — A Repeatable Treatment Framework

Remove biggest drivers → Restore metabolic flexibility → Pharmacotherapy toolset (including GLP-1 data on MAFLD) → Targeted nutraceutical support → Monitoring cadence and reassessment checkpoints

You’ll Walk Away With

A stepwise treatment ladder you can repeat with every patient

Confidence interpreting liver markers and fibrosis risk tools

Clear criteria for when to refer vs. when to start treatment

A monitoring cadence with labs, imaging, and follow-up intervals

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for CE/CME credit?

This course offers 1 CE/CME credit for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, registered nurses, and registered dietitians. Credits are provided through our accredited continuing education partner.

Do I need prior hepatology or GI training?

Not at all. This course is designed for primary care and cardiometabolic clinicians who encounter fatty liver in everyday practice. Everything is explained in practical, clinically relevant terms — no GI fellowship required.

What is the “Liver Recovery Ladder”?

It’s a simple, repeatable 5-step treatment framework you can apply immediately: (1) Remove biggest drivers, (2) Restore metabolic flexibility, (3) Pharmacotherapy where appropriate, (4) Targeted nutraceutical support when data supports it, (5) Monitoring cadence and reassessment checkpoints.

How long will I have access?

You’ll have lifetime access to the on-demand course materials. Watch as many times as you need, whenever you need a refresher.

What if I can’t make the live session on April 24?

No problem! The live session is recorded and made available on-demand within 24 hours. You’ll have full access to the recording with your enrollment.
