| Response from Dr. McGovern
 I would worry about NASH if you are overweight, have high triglycerides or have diabetes. If you are overweight, you will want to talk with your doctor about a weight reduction program and exercise. The range of liver function tests just tells you that the liver is inflammed. It doesn't tell you about scarring. Weight loss can lead to a reduction in these numbers. Your question is important for many people since being overweight can lead to fatty liver, which in turn can lead to scarring of the liver. | |||||||||
