Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis Epidemiology
Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is the gradual form of liver injury, which carries a risk of progressive fibrosis, cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease. It is a progressive form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that is caused by the fat buildup in the liver. So, when this buildup leads to inflammation and damage, then it is called NASH. The disease leads to liver scarring; it is a life-threatening condition known as cirrhosis. NASH Market NASH falls under the category of silent diseases that has very few or no symptoms typically because it does not cause any symptoms until it is too late. In the early period, patients did not complain about anything specific. Even with the advancing fibrosis, the disease may not have any specific problems. However, in the later stages, patients may start developing some non-specific symptoms. The classification of fibrosis stages of NASH is as follows: No Fibrosis (F0) NASH Fibrosis (F1–F3) NASH Cirrhosis (F4).
