Formula Diet Treatment for NASH Patients.

Sponsor: West German Center of Diabetes and Health

Summary

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) - also called fatty liver - is medically a serious problem because the liver tissue becomes fatty and stiff, and inflammatory reactions occur. This increases the risk of liver fibrosis (= scarring of the liver), liver cirrhosis (= shrunken liver), a liver tumor or death. So far there is no recognized treatment option for this disease. However, there is evidence that a lifestyle change based on a reduced carbohydrate diet, more exercise and a significant weight loss that can improve NASH.
