The histological features of what we  now call non-alcoholic steatohepatitis were described as early as 1962  by the Honorary President of the Symposium, Professor Herbert Thaler,  from Vienna. Others followed, and in 1980 Jürgen Ludwig, one of  the speakers of this symposium, introduced the name `non-alcoholic  steatohepatitis' or NASH. In a Consensus Symposium organized by the  National Institute of Health (NIH) in Washington, USA, in December  1998, NASH was recognized as one of the most common liver diseases in  Western countries when viral hepatitis and heavy alcohol consumption  were excluded. \u003cbr\u003e  ASH, or alcoholic steatohepatitis, is more common than NASH, since  alcohol is omnipresent in Western as well as Eastern cultures.  Histologically NASH and ASH are similar or even identical.  Morphological findings range from fatty degeneration to inflammation  and fibrosis, and may end up in liver cirrhosis. In spite of the  well-defined morphological features, our knowledge of epidemiology,  aetiology, and pathogenesis is full of gaps, especially for NASH.  Therefore, it is the purpose of this book to show the state of the  art, to discuss recent scientific data, and to suggest possible  treatment strategies, hoping to stimulate clinicians as well as  scientists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792387695\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 380\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541621698700,"sku":"9780792387695","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792387695.jpg?v=1770783622","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792387695","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
