Brief Summary

GRIPonMASH will assist (primary) health care providers clinicians to implement the latest patient care pathway, as described by the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), to identify patients at risk of severe metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and to raise awareness. The primary objective is to implement a transmural patient care pathway, in order to identify patients with MASLD and its progressive form metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) in primary care centres and clinics in 10 European countries.
