ASSCAT AELALD PACIENTE EXPERTO

The Associació Catalana de Malalts d'Hepatitis (ASSCAT) is a non-profit organization legally established in Barcelona that, since its foundation in 2000, attends queries to patients and citizens in general and develops activities to support and inform patients of hepatitis and their families.
This entity organizes a "Course for expert patients" with the aim of training its volunteers to provide information to the users of its multi-channel service, as well as to carry out their task at the information tables in hospitals in their area, offering the informative material citizenship and responding to queries from patients who visit them in a personalized way.
In the fourth session, we were offered the opportunity to explain how Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency affects the liver, causing liver fibrosis and/or cirrhosis, and how it can be commonly confused with other liver diseases.

We thank ASSCAT the opportunity to share infomation about this rare and underdiagnosed disease.

The session was held on 11/24/21 online and you can view it on YouTube at this link: https://youtu.be/z5Wl5AHPdHA
