NASH and genetics: Does it run in your family?

Hi everyone,

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) often seems to appear quietly, but some people have noticed a pattern in their family history. While lifestyle plays a role, genetics might too.

Let’s discuss what you’ve observed:

• Has anyone else in your family been diagnosed with NASH or liver-related conditions?
• Did your diagnosis prompt you to look into family patterns?
• Do you think there should be more awareness of genetic risk in this disease?

Your experience might help someone else recognise early signs.

Take care,
