Severe fatty liver disease can be treated with a new drug - hepatologist Yuzhnova

Millions of people around the world can benefit from a drug that can potentially treat severe fatty liver disease.As the name suggests, fatty liver disease is caused by excess fat in the liver. In its earliest stages, it often shows no symptoms, meaning that people may not know they have it. However, as the disease becomes more severe, it begins to affect the organ, which can lead to dangerous scarring and inflammation.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, also known as NASH, is the second stage of fatty liver disease. At the moment it is more serious, with liver inflammation.

If this continues, it can eventually develop into cirrhosis, in which the liver becomes scarred, lumpy and shrunken, which can lead to liver failure.
