MASH/MAFLD commonly referred to as “fatty liver” is a growing concern in the healthcare community. An increasing number of people are being diagnosed with this disease that does not have an available treatment. It still isn’t clear what causes the disease, but the results are a build up of fat on the liver that can lead to scarring and decreased function. It has been linked to diet, obesity, high cholesterol and triglycerides, and Type II Diabetes. It’s a silent disease- meaning it has very few, if any, symptoms- but can lead to cirrhosis of the liver which has fatal consequences.
