it passes or it NASH

It is a silent disease whose prevalence is growing all over the world, we are talking regarding fatty liver disease.

It’s called NASH. This chronic disease, which affects more and more people, took a long time to be defined and taken care of. Whether it is called non-alcoholic cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, or soda disease, this silent pathology, largely linked to junk food, can have serious consequences on the health of those who suffer from it. To the point of putting them at vital risk if the disease is not diagnosed in time.
