The International NASH Day
On June 12, we join together to raise awareness and promote early intervention to treat fatty liver disease and its more advanced form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which affect more than 115 million people worldwide.
Why was this event organized?
NASH is expected to become the #1 cause of liver transplant by 2020 in the United States, and its prevalence is projected to increase globally in association with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Yet NASH operates in silence by not showing symptoms. As a result it remains poorly-known, under-diagnosed, and as such represents a growing global public health issue in most countries worldwide.
