Abstract

NASH (Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis) and ASH (Alcoholic Steatohepatitis) are both diseases with increase frequency which may complicate up to 50% of liver cirrhosis. They are considered as risk factors for liver carcinoma. In order to diminish the incidence of liver cancer, NASH and ASH need a close follow-up. These two entities need to be known not only by gastroenterologist, but also by general practitioners, endocrinologists, nutritionists and cardiologists.
