Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is liverinflammation and damage caused by a buildup of fat in the liver. It is part of a group of conditions called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Many people have a buildup of fat in the liver, and for most people it causes no symptoms and no problems.
A fatty liver refers to the accumulation of fat in the liver cells commonly seen in patients with diabetes or obesity or in patients consuming excess alcohol. A fatty liver by itself does not cause any damage to the liver; however, inflammation of a fatty liver can result in scarring (cirrhosis) and malfunction of the liver. Although the specific cause of NASH is unknown, it is important to understand that NASH is an inflammatory liver disease that is not associated with alcohol or viral hepatitis A, B, or C. NASH is not transmitted from person to person and is not passed on from generation to generation.
