Rare Presentation of NASH with Haematemesis in An Obese Young Man

Abstract

Obesity increases a person's risk of development of insulin resistance and an increased predilection for non alcoholic induced fatty liver disease, both of which are key contributors to chronic liver disease. Non alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) can potentially show a progression to end stage liver disease, necessitating a liver transplant, by causing the development of liver cirrhosis on its own. Some patients may already have severe liver fibrosis when they first show This case study describes a 36-year-old man who was hospitalised in our hospital with haematemesis brought on by the rupture of gastric varices. He was identified as having severe liver fibrosis and NASH. This example serves as a reminder of the need to be on the lookout for liver fibrosis caused by NASH, especially in individuals who are severely obese.
