Fatty liver disease is now called steatitic(fat build up) liver disease or SLD. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is now called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has replaced NASH.
It took them a while to change the names but it shows although (formerly called )NAFLD and NASH are heterogeneous diseases with several causes the metabolic causes are the main reasons for the conditions. As for Akero there was an improvement between results after 36 weeks and now 96 weeks. It shows once again MASH also called silent killer is progressing slowly and the any treatment will take time reversing the damages.
It hard to resist not mentioning once again Tesamorelin improves the metabolic syndrome.
