Description

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH)* is a chronic, often progressive, and potentially life-threatening liver disease. Caused by a buildup of excess fat in the liver (steatosis), MASH is characterized by liver inflammation and ballooning, with or without fibrosis.

Often considered a "silent" disease, MASH can go unaddressed, which can lead to serious consequences. Early intervention is essential for long-term management—yet the majority of US cases are undiagnosed.

Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4)

Fasting recommended.

The Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) test is a non-invasive blood test that estimates the amount of scarring in the liver. It's used to determine if a patient needs further evaluation for liver disease.
