Description
Jeff J McIntyre, Gina Bartes, and Raquel Peck write from the patient side of chronic liver disease in a 2026 commentary. People with liver disease move through scattered entry points, from primary care to emergency rooms to specialty clinics. Too often no clear next step or steady coordination follows them.
Effective tools already exist: hepatitis C can be cured, alcohol harm can be cut by proven policies, and fatty liver disease can be caught early. Outcomes still lag because systems stay split across liver, hormone, heart, and addiction services. The authors argue that patient voice must shape design, not decorate it. Joined-up care, they say, would close the gap between what is possible and what happens.
