NASH: Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

What is MASH even about?

My poor blog, I've neglected you for far too long! And I'll probably ignore you from here until the new year, so here's a quickie to make myself feel like I've been up to something useful.

Here's a play on the MASH TV show! I've never actually seen it, so I think it makes the reference so much better. NASH stands for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. It's a liver disease that looks like alcoholic liver disease because you'll find all kinds of fatty change to the cellular architecture on the microscope. You'll likely see this in obese patients.
