Non-alcoholic fatty liver is a common condition that is currently receiving a lot of attention. Importantly, the condition is heterogeneous and can vary from a very innocuous condition that needs only simple variations in life-style to a serious condition needing medical treatment. Given the high frequency and variable outcomes, a lay person is often faced with conflicting messaging and seeks answers. Unfortunately, these are often not easily available, particularly in developing country settings.
This Fatty Liver Support Group being launched by INASL is an attempt to fill this important public need. We hope to place here accurate information in a simple language to help guide the general public as well as patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver. We hope that this portal will go a long way to improve awareness about and care of this important condition. We plan to keep the information on the portal current by adding and changing the material over time, and also look forward to adding dynamic features at a future date.
We do look forward to input from our intended audience about the usefulness of the available information, and suggestions on how to improve it.
