I have a question: My sister-in-law had recent lung surgery and has to be careful regarding who and what she is around. Is NASH, in any way, contagious or something she should stay away from. Is this a form of hepatitis A, B, or C. Thank you for your help in this matter.

@mollyb1968 - No, NASH is not contagious. This is from Saint Louis University's NASH Research Center: "No, NASH is not contagious. “Hepatitis” simply means inflammation in the liver. Although some people have liver inflammation (hepatitis) because of infections by viruses such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C, NASH is not caused by an infection of the liver and is not contagious. "
