In @JIDJournal, @KWegermann and colleagues aim to discover lipid metabolite signatures for persons with HIV (PWH), PWH with HCV coinfection, and individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and steatohepatitis (MASLD, MASH). academic.oup.com/jid/advance…
Heart failure (HF) = common, underrecognized in MASLD patients
