Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis

📋Overview

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis, formerly identified as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, is a condition defined by liver inflammation and hepatocyte injury. It occurs when excess fat in the liver triggers inflammatory responses and cellular damage. If left unmanaged, the condition can progress to more severe stages, including fibrosis, cirrhosis, and potentially liver failure. Management strategies typically focus on lifestyle interventions, weight reduction, and the control of comorbid metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.
