Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: the therapeutic challenge of a global epidemic

Authors Marialena Mouzaki, Johane Allard.

Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease worldwide. Nonalcoholic
steatohepatitis (NASH) reflects severe liver disease within the NAFLD spectrum
and can progress to end-stage liver disease. Within this manuscript we review the available
evidence for the treatment of NASH as well as the newer therapeutic agents that are currently
being investigated.
