Learn to Speak Liver
MASH (metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis) is an advanced form of fatty liver disease. If you have cardiometabolic risk factors, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, high triglycerides (a type of fat), or low HDL (good cholesterol), you may be at greater risk for MASH.
MASH, formerly known as NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis), is an advanced form of fatty liver disease that can go undetected, as there may be no symptoms with the disease and even when symptoms are present, they may not clearly indicate MASH. This liver disease can worsen over time, without you knowing, and bring potentially life-threatening consequences. With timely screening, detection, and management, it may be possible to stop or even reverse liver damage from MASH.
Certain people may also be at a higher risk for fatty liver disease, which can progress to MASH, like those of Hispanic or Asian descent with specific genetic factors.
Do you think you could be at risk? If so, SPEAK UP, SPEAK LOUD, and SPEAK NOW to a health care professional (HCP) about MASH.
It's time to act
If you’re living with risk factors for MASH or were recently diagnosed with MASH, make a plan with your HCP.
