Your Liver Health
Overview
Metabolic health refers to how well your body manages essential processes that are key to keeping everything in balance.
The liver is our biggest internal organ and manages more than 500 metabolic processes.
That is why it is important to prevent or treat common chronic liver diseases like Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) or Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
Who is at Risk?
Obesity
Diabetes
Dyslipidemia
Hypertension
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Chronic Viral Hepatitis
Bariatric Surgery
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Alcohol Consumption
MASLD and MASH (formerly known as NAFLD and NASH) are metabolic diseases of the liver. Recent studies have shown that more than 70% of diabetic patients and around 30% of people who are obese have MASLD.
MASH in Numbers
Up to 30 out of 100 people, or over 100 million of American adults have MASLD
Over 20 million adult Americans are estimated to be living with MASH
More than 3 in 5 MASLD patients present with normal liver enzymes
Prevalence of MASH
MASH Prevalence: 5.3%
What are some of the symptoms?
Progression of MASLD Over Time
MASLD is still reversible in the early stages with the right treatment and lifestyle changes. Early detection and management of these conditions can help prevent progression to more severe liver diseases and improve overall treatment outcomes.
Early Detection
Early detection of liver disease is crucial. MASLD is reversible in most cases through lifestyle adjustments. Detecting it early means people have a better and easier chance to prevent MASLD from becoming MASH.
Additionally, addressing liver problems early can improve your quality of life and save on medical costs, making it easier to stay healthy and active.
What Happens if you have MASLD/MASH?*
Medications
Monitoring
