Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a growing concern for all patients with metabolic disease. This liver disease is an advanced form of fatty liver disease, recently renamed to metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which is present in up to 90% of people with obesity, type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome. As 20% of people with MAFLD will progress to NASH, this is an important subset of patients, and a common comorbidity to consider.
Join Professor William Alazawi for a summary of how to identify and manage NASH among people with diabetes.
