Diabetes and NASH

Diabetes can put you on a path toward NASH

Those living with diabetes are more likely to develop nonalcoholic liver disease (NASH) since both conditions share similar risk factors. While some report symptoms associated with NASH, most people exhibit minor or no signs meaning it often goes untreated or is detected through a routine blood exam. Besides routine bloodwork, a liver health scan is a great way to help diagnose NASH or other liver conditions associated with diabetes.

Arizona Liver Health offers patients a FREE liver scan and conducts cutting-edge clinical trials researching NASH treatments for those in or around the Tuscon and Phoenix Metro area. If you suspect you might be at risk, contact us to learn more about your options!

NASH

NASH often shows no symptoms.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is defined by the accumulation of fat in the liver, not caused by excessive alcohol use. Known as the silent killer, NASH often has no symptoms until it has progressed. If symptoms do appear, they can include weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, jaundice, swelling in the legs or abdomen as well as confusion.

Find out if you’re at risk today.

Arizona Liver Health offers patients a free Fibroscan exam which can help detect NAFLD and NASH. Based on the results of the exam, Arizona Liver Health physicians can discuss results, as well as options and opportunities moving forward. Those who have a Fibroscan exam that is abnormal, have the option to participate in a trial to help develop a treatment for NASH where there is no current treatment available. Arizona Liver Health is working on several cutting-edge trials for those in and around Tucson and Phoenix.
