Abstract

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), the progressive form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), has historically been treated with lifestyle modification (dietary changes, exercise and weight loss). While lifestyle modification remains foundational in the treatment of MASLD/MASH, resmetirom (a thyroid hormone β-receptor agonist) and semaglutide (a glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonist) are now Food and Drug Administration-approved for patients with MASH and clinically significant hepatic fibrosis (ie, F2-F3 fibrosis). Emerging therapies will allow for future opportunities at a personalized approach to treatment of MASH. This article reviews currently approved and future regimens for the treatment of MASH and MASH-related cirrhosis.
