Losing balance

Can stage 3 Nash cause you to lose your balance when walking?

  1. I’ve had balance problems and syncope that resulted in falls and concussions. One fall may have caused a stroke in the cerebellar area. But N. A. S. H. And balance issues make sense.
    Thanks for this.

    1. Hi I found an article that forms the connection between liver disease and poor balance. Here is an excerpt from the NIH article, “Recent studies have confirmed the presence of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in those with early stages of NAFLD. The presence of autonomic nervous system dysfunction leads to symptoms such as postural dizziness and syncope and is also associated with a number of clinical consequences in hepatic and non-hepatic diseases such as cognitive dysfunction, falls and fall-related injuries.” If you’d like you can read the full article https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20460914/.
