BMS-986036 (pegylated FGF21) in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: A phase 2 study
 
 
  from Jules: people with HIV appear to be at higher risk for NASH. It can cause elevated ALT/liver function tests, can be a sign for fatty liver, but many HIV clinicians do not connect the dots that a patient's elevated ALTs may be due to NASH so they usually write it off as "everyone with HIV has elevated ALTs. Increased risk for fatty liver in HIV may be due to previous use of old nukes, metabolic & lipid abnormalities in HIV+ and may be associated with some ARTs, and perhaps to HIV itself.
