Abstract

We present a 56-year-old female patient diagnosed with stage 2/grade 3 non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) via liver biopsy. Over the next 14 years, six liver biopsies were performed, and the patient was followed up clinically. This was a valuable case wherein we were able to investigate the histology of the liver and the timing of changes in the AST/ALT ratio, platelets, albumin, FIB4-Index, and liver fibrosis markers.
