As rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes continue to rise, incidental fatty liver on ultrasound has become an everyday finding. The challenge is no longer identifying patients with steatosis — it is identifying the minority at risk of advanced fibrosis and liver-related complications. Fortunately, most patients with MASLD will never...]]></description><link>https://www.gastroconsult.co.nz/post/masld-fib-4</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a269449a7cc9d295b3fef65</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 10:19:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5c54b20667cad7442869ccd33936968b.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_750,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Henry Wei</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Elevated Ferritin in Primary Care: A Practical Approach for New Zealand Clinicians]]></title><description><![CDATA[Why This Matters Few blood tests generate more uncertainty in primary care than an elevated ferritin. Many clinicians immediately think of hereditary haemochromatosis, yet approximately 90% of elevated ferritin results are not caused by iron overload. In modern practice, obesity, metabolic dysfunction, fatty liver disease, alcohol use and chronic inflammation are far more common explanations. The challenge is identifying the small minority of patients with clinically significant iron overload...]]></description><link>https://www.gastroconsult.co.nz/post/elevated-ferritin</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a269215750b8b39abbd3eee</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 10:02:58 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_deef39e9edb942afbb3cf81e7af7964f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Henry Wei</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coeliac Disease in Primary Care: What Has Changed?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Coeliac disease affects approximately 1% of the population, yet many patients remain undiagnosed for years. While traditionally associated with diarrhoea and malabsorption, modern coeliac disease frequently presents with iron deficiency anaemia, fatigue, bloating, osteoporosis, abnormal liver tests, and symptoms suggestive of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Diagnostic delays of 6–10 years remain common. Why This Matters in New Zealand In primary care, coeliac disease often hides in plain...]]></description><link>https://www.gastroconsult.co.nz/post/coeliac-disease</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a268634a7cc9d295b3fd29d</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 09:27:08 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_6bab394be92d4805b1261ca15303bebd~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Henry Wei</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
