Can MASH be cured? How can I stop symptoms from getting worse? — Expert Video
Dr. Amit Singal, MD, a liver cancer specialist at UT Southwestern Medical Center, discusses how to manage and potentially improve outcomes for patients with metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). The first key step is to stop drinking alcohol, as it can worsen liver damage. Next, making lifestyle changes, such as adopting a healthy diet (like the Mediterranean diet) and exercising for 20 to 30 minutes daily, is very important. Dr. Singal also notes new medications that target MASH and its underlying metabolic issues, are showing promise in reducing liver fibrosis and supporting weight loss. While these treatments have potential, every patient is different. It's important to work closely with your liver specialist (hepatologist) to develop a personalized plan that incorporates healthy habits and possibly medication to help manage MASH and reduce the risk of long-term liver problems.
