Description
Jonas F Ludvigsson writes a 2026 memorial for hepatologist Hannes Hagström, who died at forty-five. Hagström was a professor at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. Ludvigsson first heard from him twelve years earlier, when Hagström was a resident writing on fatty liver and pregnancy. The memorial traces a career that moved at record speed. Hagström defended his thesis in 2016 and soon led his own group at Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge.
He wrote almost three hundred articles, many on the fatty liver disease now called MASLD. His cohorts showed that fibrosis stage, more than inflammation labels, predicts death in that disease. Two of his papers passed one thousand citations each. He helped write European liver guidelines and served as an associate editor of a leading internal medicine journal. In 2024 he received a Rising Star award at a major European congress. Ludvigsson recalls a cheerful, skiing-loving colleague.
