Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an increasingly common and serious form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. It's characterised by a build-up of fat in the liver accompanied by inflammation and liver cell damage. It can progress to cirrhosis and liver failure, and ultimately lead to complications such as liver cancer. As there is no specific treatment apart from lifestyle changes, early diagnosis and preventative measures are key in managing NASH. These include controlling and managing your blood sugar levels, quitting smoking, eating a healthy balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising regularly. By taking steps to control your lifestyle risk factors, you can reduce your risk of developing NASH.
