New Delhi: Are you a victim of sleep disorder like Obstructive sleep apnea? If your answer is yes than it’s important for you to realise that sleep apnea is not only affecting your moods, thoughts and body functions but may also trigger the progression of liver disease.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and low night-time oxygen are associated with the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adults, a new study conducted by an Indian-origin researcher has suggested.
According to the study, published in the Journal of Hepatology, obstructive sleep apnea and low night-time oxygen may also be important triggers in the progression of paediatric NAFLD to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) — a type of fatty liver disease, characterised by inflammation of the liver with concurrent fat accumulation in the liver.
