NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis)

NASH, or Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis, is a condition where the liver becomes inflamed and develops fat accumulation, not caused by alcohol. This can happen due to factors like obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, or metabolic syndrome. Over time, NASH can cause liver damage, scarring, and may lead to serious conditions like cirrhosis or liver failure. Often, it develops silently with few symptoms, making regular health check-ups important. Managing lifestyle factors such as healthy eating, weight loss, and controlling blood sugar and cholesterol levels can help prevent or slow its progression.
