The term “non-alcoholic steatohepatitis” (NASH) was originally used to describe liver damage characterized by lobular inflammation, steatosis and ballooning of hepatocytes. In addition, a large proportion of patients were described as having “cryptogenic cirrhosis” at the time: The term “non-alcoholic fatty liver disease” (NAFLD) was established as the diagnosis for these patients.
