There is an urgent need for practical approaches to patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Total body weight loss (TBWL) is an important approach, as its effects are amplified in the liver, with 10% TBWL resulting in a 50% loss of liver triglycerides and improvement in all aspects of NASH histology. Lifestyle changes are the first step in addressing TBWL, but uncommonly result in the range required to improve liver histology in NASH (7%-10%). Weight loss medications (WLMs) are an effective additional tool because they can provide TBWL in the 7%-10% range, have a well-characterized clinical profile, have clear guidelines, and meet approved criteria for their use (body mass index greater than 27 kg/m 2 ) for most NASH patients. Use of WLMs requires shared decision making with the patient, which hepatologists, due to their understanding of the natural history of NASH, are uniquely positioned to provide. WLMs do present the challenge of incorporating new medications into the hepatology clinic, but this will be necessary with all medications to manage NASH. WLMs provide a practical intervention that can be incorporated into hepatology clinics and can be offered to most NASH patients. NASH-specific medicines in clinical trials offer partial histological responses, and TBWL will likely enhance this. Conclusion: WLMs provide the hepatologist with effective and welcome clinical intervention beyond the diagnosis and staging of NASH and provide patients with a sense of empowerment about the treatment of their liver disease.

N onalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in the United States, and its severe phenotype nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) results in a significant liver disease burden due to the development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. NASH presents a major management challenge and is an active area of clinical research. The development of insulin resistance plays a central role in NASH pathogenesis, and modest weight loss improves insulin sensitivity with improvement in NASH. Fortunately, weight loss of 4%-5% of total body weight (TBW) results in improved steatosis, and loss of 7%-10% of TBW has demonstrated improvement in inflammation and even fibrosis. (1) Consistent with these data, guidelines by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases recommend weight loss-directed lifestyle intervention in all patients with NASH, and bariatric surgery in those meeting the conventional criteria for surgery. However, this leaves major gaps in management, as lifestyle interventions typically only result in more than 5% weight loss in approximately 12% of patients.
