| Core Tip |
Patients with NASH cirrhosis who lose weight rapidly (approximately ≥ 1% of body weight per week) with semaglutide are at risk of liver decompensation. This complication requires the immediate cessation of semaglutide and aggressive nutritional rehabilitation with supplemental protein feeds and micronutrients. Restoration of lost weight can lead to liver recompensation; however, consideration of liver transplantation should be given to patients who fail to respond to treatment. |
