The TRUTH About NASH, an Intercept Pharmaceuticals roundtable we participated in discussing the challenges of liver disease

[nash2]

Patients, physicians, and others with a stake in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) – a chronic condition caused by the buildup of fat and inflammation in the liver – convened for a roundtable to discuss a new survey sponsored by Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The NASH TRUTH (Time to Get Real About Liver Health) Survey examined the impact of communication barriers, knowledge gaps, and social stigma on patients with NASH and the healthcare providers who treat them.

In a series of video interviews, roundtable participants discuss the disease, how it has affected them, and what the future holds for those living with and treating NASH. You’ll also find more information on the survey, the disease, and ongoing clinical trials through the links below.

Hi Wayne, as always very interesting and informative post.

I have been reading up about AFLD STEATOHEPATITUS.

very similar symptoms but also confusing to me after i was told as you know that i have fatty liver on top of cirrhosis.. yet i haven't touched a drop of alcohol in a long time.

This is one thing that i need to get to the bottom of when i see my consultant 🤔. Cant be due to alcohol yet my diet is quite good apart from the old sweet tooth..

Yes, there are 2 issues, how much fat there is and how much fibrosis has formed. Fatty liver can result in cirrhosis but isn't the only cause

Just a bit of information, fructose is one of the villains in fatty liver and sugar is 50% fructose here is a link that talks about
