Are you in the 5% of US adults who have developed NASH, but don’t know it?

In the early stages of fatty liver disease, there are typically minimal or no symptoms. This allows fatty liver to progress to NASH.

Individuals at greatest risk of developing NASH are those who are obese, have high blood sugar, and high cholesterol.
