Spotlight on Dr. Sae Kyung Joo: Advancing Precision in MASLD Diagnosis through Sex-Specific Cutoffs

 



As the global medical community continues to refine diagnostic accuracy in metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), the work of leading gastroenterologists like Dr. Sae Kyung Joo stands out. We are honored to feature Dr. Joo as a distinguished speaker at the 15th World Probiotics & Gut Health Conference, taking place from December 17–19, 2025, at Novotel Al Barsha, Dubai, UAE, and online.

Representing the Seoul National University College of Medicine, South Korea, Dr. Joo brings a wealth of clinical expertise and research leadership in hepatology, metabolic disorders, and sex-specific disease profiling.


Understanding a Critical Gap in MASLD Diagnosis

Dr. Sae Kyung Joo’s featured talk,
“Impact of Sex-Specific Cutoffs on Reducing Missed Advanced Fibrosis in Women with MASLD,”
addresses one of the most urgent challenges in liver disease diagnostics: gender disparity in detecting advanced fibrosis.

Recent findings suggest that universal non-invasive fibrosis cutoffs may inadvertently underestimate disease severity in women, delaying timely intervention and potentially increasing long-term complications. Dr. Joo’s research highlights how sex-specific thresholds can dramatically reduce missed diagnoses, offering a more equitable and accurate approach to gut health and MASLD care.


Why This Research Matters

  • Improved Diagnostic Precision: Introducing sex-based criteria enhances early detection of fibrosis.
  • Personalized Care: Tailored cutoffs align with the future of probiotics and gut health research.
  • Better Patient Outcomes: Early identification leads to timely treatment strategies.
  • Bridging Gender Gaps: Dr. Joo’s work equips clinicians with tools to reduce gender bias in liver disease diagnostics.
