Your liver is one of the body’s most important organs, working around the clock to keep you healthy. It performs hundreds of essential functions that support your overall well-being, making liver health an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

What Does The Liver Do?

Located in the upper right side of your abdomen, the liver helps your body function properly by:

• Filtering toxins and waste from your blood

• Processing nutrients from the food you eat

• Producing bile to help digest fats

Because the liver is involved in so many vital processes, keeping it healthy is essential for your overall health.

What Is MASH?

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) is a liver disease that develops when excess fat builds up in the liver, causing inflammation and damage.

MASH is closely linked to metabolic health and is more common in people with:

• Type 2 diabetes

• Obesity

• High cholesterol

Many people with MASH have few or no symptoms in its early stages, making routine liver screenings especially important.
