Rezdiffra for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH)

One in every 5 people who have fatty liver disease have metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which was previously referred to as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). People with MASH usually have a combination of disorders that increase their likelihood of fat buildup in the liver, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. This disorder can lead to significant problems like cirrhosis (severe scarring of the liver), liver cancer, and a need for a liver transplant.

Fatty Liver: How Much Weight Do I Need to Lose?

Alcohol-Related Liver Disease vs. Non-Alcohol-Related Liver Disease

Your liver is a hardworking organ and gland that performs more than 500 functions in your body. It fights infections. It cleans your blood of waste and harmful substances. And it transforms fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into energy and nutrients. Your liver is essential to maintaining your body’s overall wellness. But all that cleaning and processing also puts this vital organ at risk of developing various types of liver disease, including alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

What Is Liver Failure?

Liver failure happens when your liver starts to shut down. This is usually because it's become damaged and can't be repaired. It's a life-threatening condition that demands urgent medical care. Most often, liver failure happens gradually, over many years, and is called chronic liver failure. It’s the final stage of many liver diseases. But a rarer condition, known as acute liver failure, happens rapidly -- in as little as 48 hours.

Does Fatty Liver Lead to Cirrhosis?

Fatty liver disease, now called steatotic liver disease, happens when too much fat builds up in your liver. Over time, this extra fat can cause inflammation and harm the healthy parts of your liver. It may lead to severe scarring called cirrhosis. This is a permanent condition that affects your liver's ability to function.
