Learn to Speak Liver
MASH (metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis) is an advanced form of fatty liver disease. If you are living with fatty liver or family history of cirrhosis, type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, high triglycerides (a type of fat), low HDL (good cholesterol), persistently elevated liver enzymes (over 6 months), or PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), ask your health care professional (HCP) whether you should be screened for MASH.
What is MASH?
MASH, formerly known as NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis), is an advanced form of fatty liver disease that can go undetected, as many people do not experience symptoms. Even if they do, they may not connect those symptoms to 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 an HCP about MASH.
It's time to act
If you're living with risk factors for MASH or have been diagnosed with MASH, make a plan with your doctor.
