What is Global Fatty Liver Day?
Global Fatty Liver Day, formerly known as International NASH Day, is a public education campaign that was inaugurated in June 2018 to enhance awareness and emphasize the pressing nature of fatty liver disease, particularly its advanced stages, which impacts a staggering 115 million individuals worldwide.
Fatty liver disease, and its more advanced form, remains a concealed global epidemic. An estimated 357 million people will be affected by 2030. Because symptoms of fatty liver disease are often not overt, it is often underdiagnosed and underreported. Fatty liver disease is considered a major risk factor for concurrent conditions: more than 70% of patients are living with obesity, up to 75% have type 2 diabetes, and anywhere from 20-80% have hyperlipidemia. Unchecked, fatty liver disease may lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver transplant.
