What is MASH? This is a serious form of another condition called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). It used to be called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). With MASH, your liver swells from excess fat along with inflammation. MASH can cause cell damage that affects how well your liver works. Over time (usually many years), you may get liver scarring that doesn't heal. Doctors call this cirrhosis, but it doesn't happen to everyone.
