The recent re-naming and reclassification of 'non-alcoholc fatty liver disease (NAFLD)' to steatotic (SLD) subcategories aims clarify the different aetiologies associated with fat accumulation, particularly alcohol consumption and/or metabolic dysfunction [1]. A novel entity, coined as 'metabolic related/associated (MetALD)' was introduced capture individuals whose intake exceeds traditional NAFLD thresholds but not yet meet alcohol-related (ALD) shift in terminology highlights complexity between on pathophysiology, natural course treatment implications SLD. Accurate quantification is therefore crucial. However, current estimations rely solely patients' self-report, where underreporting common leading misclassification. An objective biomarker pivotal providing an accurate assessment individual's drinking pattern. Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) levels blood a promising that has garnered significant attention field research. Being abnormal phospholipid only formed presence ethanol, it easily measured blood, also long detection window lasting for 2–4 weeks. Tavaglione et al. conducted cross-sectional study compare PEth other indirect biomarkers diagnosis MetALD versus dysfunction-associated (MASLD) 374 subjects who were obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 25 kg/m2) imaging-confirmed SLD (magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fraction or transient elastography). Alcohol use quantified using questionnaire (AUDIT score Lifetime Drinking History) DSM-V criteria. shown have high diagnostic accuracy (AUROC 0.81, 95% CI 0.73–0.89) optimal cut-off level ng/mL.

Given derived from human erythrocytes, precision measurements may be impacted by conditions such cirrhosis, anaemia, hypersplenism [5].

We deeply appreciate the insightful letter from Liu and He et al., which highlights their analysis of global burden metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)-related cancer using Global Burden Disease Study (GBD) 2021 database [1]. The similarities between findings our observations on rising MASLD-related in United States underscore importance this issue [2]. data trends cancer, particularly notable increases incidence mortality, are highly significant. Prior studies same also emphasised disease-related with increasing age-standardised rates for both alcohol-associated (ALD) (APC: 0.26%, 95% CI 0.22%–0.30%) MASLD 0.62%, 0.58%–0.67%) [3, 4]. non-overlapping confidence intervals support assertion, as noted by that is a primary driver disease, evidenced projections through 2050 However, several limitations to GBD methodology warrant consideration [5]. For example, alcohol use frequently underreported, could result some cases being reclassified dysfunction (MetALD) or ALD [6, 7]. A comprehensive history, including recent lifetime intake, essential ensure accurate prognosis management. Consideration alcohol's impact syndrome criteria, reassessing over time, addressing challenges underreporting biomarkers, validated questionnaires collateral information [6]. Furthermore, since 2024, Resmetirom has received conditional approval treating MASH, while treatment advancements have lagged behind, suggesting future may increase more than [8, 9]. further underscores critical need incorporate demographic factors, population aging, into strategies preventing managing cancer. This extends ALD-associated disorder shows similar prevalence general [10]. Such insights can guide development tailored public health resource allocation effectively address these populations' unique needs, will translate prevention Further refinement large-scale databases accurately quantify aetiology-specific contributions, globally, informing efforts, target populations, reduce mortality.

We thank Ho and Mak for their positive comments on our recently published work, in which we demonstrate that phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is an accurate, quantitative, objective, blood-based alcohol biomarker diagnosing the newly defined metabolic dysfunction alcohol-related liver disease (MetALD) [1]. Leveraging a well-characterised United States (U.S.) cohort of 374 community-dwelling individuals with overweight or obesity steatotic (SLD) assessed through advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques [2], showed PEth exhibited robust diagnostic accuracy differentiating MetALD from dysfunction-associated (MASLD) (AUROC 0.81, 95% CI 0.73–0.89) optimal cut-off 25 ng/mL, outperformed indirect biomarkers, including aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) ratio, gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) ALD/non-alcoholic fatty index (ANI). abnormal cellular membrane phospholipid formed human erythrocytes exclusively during ingestion. Specifically, synthesised phosphatidylcholine transphosphatidylation reaction catalysed by enzyme phospholipase D only presence ethanol (Figure 1) [3]. Given physiopathology underlying formation degradation, astutely highlighted factors such as anaemia, cirrhosis drinking patterns may significantly influence levels [4]. However, handful studies have specifically investigated impact these conditions levels. Limited evidence suggests elimination PEth, rather than its formation, be affected alter red blood cell turnover [3, 5, 6]. Additional research required to fully address questions. Regarding patterns, has shown potential identifying excessive episodes binge behaviours, but this area warrants further investigation SLD population 7]. Notably, another important question needs addressed clearly exact quantity must consumed over specific time period yield test In conclusion, body conducted medical settings outside SLD, screening emergency departments, detoxification programs, pre-employment examinations, transplant evaluation forensic context, demonstrated reliable detecting heavy consumption [7-9]. Our study represents initial effort within setting support objective subcategories enhancing subclassification alongside self-reported use. Despite promising findings, many critical questions remain larger more diverse studies. These include establishment thresholds corresponding variability degradation across different diseases patterns. Federica Tavaglione: writing – review editing, original draft.
