    Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis or as you want to see it, Nonalcoholic Steato hepatitis

    Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or NASH is a common, often “silent” liver disease. It resembles alcoholic liver disease, but occurs in people who drink little or no alcohol. The major feature in NASH is fat in the liver, along with inflammation and damage. Most people with NASH feel well and are not aware that they have a liver problem. Nevertheless, NASH can be severe and can lead to cirrhosis, in which the liver is permanently damaged and scarred and no longer able to work properly. http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/nash/ Edit this answer Delete answer
    I was a nurse for 23 yrs, and I never heard of NASH . If I could see what the other letters mean, I could prob tell you what the S means.
    By checking my medical book it has to mean something about nose(
    (nasopharrynx)the openingsbetween thenasal cavity and the nasopharryns.Normally is and inflamation of the nasal cavity.
