Description of intervention(s) / exposure
We aim to observe the infertility or erectile dysfunction status in NASH patients. Since most NASH patients have accompanying metabolic syndrome we also aim to see how many NASH patients having metabolic syndrome have also high erectile dysfunction. Participants are assessed on one occasion only over a period of about 1 hour via the International Index of Erectile Function 5 point questionnaire.

Summary
Brief summary
Previously, the incidence of erectile dysfunction has been shown to be increased in patients having metabolic syndrome (MS). Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a clinical entity which was advocated as the liver manifestation of MS. We aim to screen the male NASH patients with regard to erectile dysfunction using the 5 point International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire.
Our secondary end point is to evaluate the demographic findings of NASH patients and test the association of erectile dysfunction with the components of MS.
Our secondary end point is to evaluate the demographic findings of NASH patients and test the assciation of erectile dysfunction with the components of MS.
