The symptoms of NASH are often silent or non-specific to NASH making it difficult to diagnose until it leads to cirrhosis. People with diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, and/or high blood pressure are more likely to have NASH. NASH is different than other fatty liver diseases that are caused by alcohol abuse or medication side effects.
Cadena Care institute in Poway is enrolling participants in a research study testing a potential medication for cirrhosis that was caused by NASH.
