 With the medicines today, 99 percent of hepatitis C can be treated and cured. The biggest liver problem facing the United states in the 21st century is NASH. NASH is caused by excess fat inflaming the liver. In the majority of cases the excess fat is assocated with obesity. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis can be treated with weight loss drugs like GLP1 drugs like Ozempic, Moujaro and Wegovy. One can also have a fibroscan to evaluate how much fat has hurt one's liver.
