Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is a liver condition characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, leading to inflammation and damage. It is part of a spectrum of liver diseases known as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and occurs in individuals who consume little to no alcohol. NASH can progress to more severe liver problems, including cirrhosis and liver cancer.
The exact cause of NASH is not fully understood, but it is often associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol levels. Lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and improved diet, are commonly recommended for managing NASH. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals is essential for those diagnosed with this condition.
