ARUN J. SANYAL, MBBS, MD, FAASLD FACULTY

Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Molecular Pathology Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, Virginia

Dr. Arun Sanyal is Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Molecular Pathology at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). He has been a physician-scientist for 25 years. His research spans the spectrum of translational science from basic discovery to first in humans and advanced phase clinical trials and regulatory aspects of drug development. These studies revolve around cirrhosis and its complications and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a major complication of obesity. He chaired the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) clinical research network, which has played a transformational role in the field. As chair, he gained extensive experience in team science that he further applied to alcoholic liver disease as leader of several specific efforts in the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)-funded TREAT (Translational Research and Evolving Alcoholic Hepatitis Treatment) consortium. Over the last 2 years, he established the Liver Forum, which provides a neutral platform for the US Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency, and other stakeholders in fatty liver disorders to work collaboratively on the regulatory science needed to accelerate drug development in liver disease. He translated his own research into several patents and patent applications that have led to a spinoff company (Sanyal Biotechnologies) from VCU. He served as chair of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) hepatobiliary study section and chair of the Division of Gastroenterology at VCU. He was the Director of the Gastroenterology and then the Advanced Hepatology fellowship programs at VCU. He has trained/mentored over 50 such fellows. He has directed an NIDDK-funded T32 training program, competitively renewed in 2014, for over 15 years. He served on the Hepatology board of the American Board of Internal Medicine.

TARGET AUDIENCE This activity is intended for endocrinologists, diabetologists, diabetes nurse specialists, and diabetes educators engaged in the care of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and attendant increased risks of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

NAFLD is a spectrum of potentially progressive liver disorders, ranging from simple hepatic steatosis to such severe forms as NASH, fibrosis, and cirrhosis.1 The prevalence rates of both NAFLD and NASH have been steadily trending upwards for years, mirroring the rapid and well-documented expansions of patient populations with obesity and/or T2DM.2-4 Thus, in the coming decade, burdens associated with this under-recognized epidemic are likely to increase exponentially for patients, clinicians, and health care systems.2-4 Of note, NAFLD is extremely common in individuals with T2DM, and the presence of both disorders significantly increases the likelihood that steatohepatitis and cirrhosis will develop compared with NAFLD cohorts without persistent hyperglycemia.4,5 Thus, endocrinologists and other clinicians with a focus on diabetes management are essential to accelerating the identification of patients with NAFLD. Importantly, however, appropriate diagnostic and management approaches for patients with T2DM who have advanced fibrosis markedly differ from those for patients who have received an NAFLD diagnosis, and bestpractice strategies are quickly evolving.5 During this Interactive Exchangeâ&#x201E;˘ program, expert faculty will highlight epidemiologic and pathophysiologic relationships between NASH and T2DM, review recommendations for disease diagnosis and patient referral, and discuss current management options and the latest evidence for emerging NASH therapies.
