Deep dives

Comprehensive Management of NAFLD and NASH

Endocrinologists often manage patients with a combination of cardiometabolic disorders, where many also have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). These conditions frequently coexist with diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic syndromes, necessitating a global approach to treatment. The role of endocrinologists includes not just managing these patients' metabolic health, but also actively evaluating and treating their liver disease. Dr. Isaacs emphasizes that comprehensive management is crucial as the treatment of one aspect can significantly influence the outcomes of the other.
