Its symptoms are often silent or non-specific to NASH, making it difficult to diagnose. It is an area of high unmet medical need with no approved treatments currently available. NASH is the more serious form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is the most common liver disease in Western industrialized nations, affecting one out of four adults. NASH and NAFLD are especially prevalent in, but not limited to, people with metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. The prevalence of NASH has been estimated to range up to 444 million people worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Boehringer Ingelheim <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Boehringer Ingelheim is working on breakthrough therapies that improve the lives of humans and animals.
