Abstract:
There is no proven medical treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Most prior therapeutic trials have had methodologic limitations. Insulin sensitizers are the more promising therapeutic candidates among categories that include antioxidants, lipid-lowering agents, and antiobesity drugs. The future will see the evaluation of novel agents and a comprehensive treatment strategy that addresses the risk factors for the metabolic syndrome. This article reviews the current status of medical management options for NASH.
