NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis) – Causes, Symptoms & Ayurvedic Treatment
What is NASH?
NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis) is a serious form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this condition, excess fat builds up in the liver and causes inflammation and liver cell damage. Unlike alcoholic liver disease, NASH develops in people who drink little or no alcohol.
If not treated on time, NASH can progress to liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, and even liver failure or liver cancer. The most concerning part is that NASH often develops silently, without noticeable symptoms in the early stages.
Dr. Manoj Kocheta is a trusted Ayurvedic liver specialist in Pune, Nagpur & Mumbai, known for providing holistic and personalized treatment for chronic liver diseases.
Causes of Liver Cirrhosis
NASH is closely linked to metabolic and lifestyle-related conditions. Common causes and risk factors include:
- Obesity or excess body weight
- Type 2 diabetes
- Insulin resistance
- High cholesterol or triglycerides
- Poor diet (high in junk and processed food)
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Metabolic syndrome
People with these conditions should regularly monitor their liver health.
Symptoms of NASH
In the early stages, NASH may not show clear symptoms. As the condition progresses, patients may experience:
- Constant fatigue
- Weakness
- Mild pain or discomfort in the upper right abdomen
- Unexplained weight loss
- Enlarged liver
- Digestive problems
Because symptoms are mild, many people discover NASH only during routine blood tests or health checkups.
Diagnosis of NASH
To confirm NASH and assess its severity, doctors may recommend:
- Blood tests (ALT, AST, liver function tests)
- Ultrasound of the abdomen
- MRI or FibroScan
- Liver biopsy (to confirm inflammation and fibrosis)
- Blood sugar and lipid profile tests
- BMI and metabolic health assessment
Early detection is very important to prevent complications.
Ayurvedic treatment aims to reduce liver fat, control inflammation, and prevent progression to fibrosis or cirrhosis.
