    Health insurance isn’t required to participate.
    Ask your doctor or contact our clinic for more information.


    • What is NASH? A Silent Liver Disease…
    What is NASH? A Silent Liver Disease…

    The liver is the second largest organ in the body.  Its function is to process everything we eat or drink and filter out any harmful substances from the blood.  When there is too much fat in one’s liver, the filtration process is interrupted and can become a health problem.

    It is estimated that 25% of the world has Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), a precursor to NASH or Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis.  NASH is associated with obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. It is now the most common liver disorder in the United States and the number one reason for liver transplants.

    Starting as Fatty Liver Disease and then progressing to NASH, the buildup of fat in the liver can lead to inflammation of the liver and liver cell damage.   Progression of NASH leads to fibrosis or stiffening of the liver and cirrhosis or scarring of the liver. NAFLD and NASH are both silent diseases with few symptoms even if the diseases progress to cirrhosis.

    Physicians can monitor liver function blood tests as well as abdominal ultrasounds and liver Fibroscans to determine if you are at risk of developing NAFLD and NASH. However, the only way to definitely determine of you have NASH is to perform a liver biopsy.

    The most common treatment for fatty liver disease is weight loss to reduce the fat in the liver. It is estimated that losing up to 3 to 5% of your body weight can help reduce the fat in the liver. Losing 10% of body weight may help reduce inflammation and even fibrosis in the liver. Currently, there are no medications which have been approved to treat fatty liver disease; however, many are in late stage development with promising results.

    To learn more about current clinical trial opportunities for fatty liver disease and NASH, please contact us.

          What causes a heart attack?

          What causes a heart attack?

          A heart attack (myocardial infarction) means that blood flow to the heart muscle has been decreased enough to cause damage to the heart muscle.  Some causes of blocked blood flow include blood clots, cholesterol build up, and rupture of plaque within the blood vessel.  For those who have already suffered a heart attack, it is important to reduce the risk of recurrent attacks. Research has shown that there are several steps that can be taken to help reduce the risk of recurrent heart attacks.

          Proven things you can do to prevent heart attacks

          • Lower cholesterol
          • Lower triglycerides
          • Lower blood pressure
          • Stop smoking and avoid secondhand smoke
          • Eat fish
          • Increase physical activity as allowed by your doctor. Inactive people have nearly twice the risk of heart disease as those who are active.
          • Talk with your doctor about medicines that can decrease blood clotting

          Medications that can reduce risk of heart attack

          • Cholesterol lowering medication, which include statins and non-statins
          • Triglyceride lowering medications
          • Medications that decrease inflammation

          Participating in a research study can help keep you motivated on your journey to better health. If you are interested in participating in any of our research studies, call your local office today!
