What Is MASH? Understanding a Growing Liver Health Crisis
Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) is a progressive and often silent liver disease that is rapidly becoming a major global health concern. Closely linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other lifestyle-related conditions, MASH can lead to severe liver damage, including fibrosis and cirrhosis.
In this video, Dr. Onno Holleboom, MD, PhD, and Co-Lead of GRIPonMASH Work Package 1, outlines what MASH is, why it matters, and how early detection and lifestyle changes can make a significant difference. Learn how this condition develops, who is at risk, and what can be done to halt its progression.
