A member asked:
Liver biopsy shows fat and inflammation. is that nash or could it still be simple fatty liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more specifics: Fatty liver can progress to the more serious NASH with progressive inflammation and scarring (fibrosis). Without the exact biopsy details is is impossible to tell what you have. Make sure you follow up with a GI doc for all of the results and suggestions.
