Abstract

Alcoholic liver disease is a major driver of liver-related morbidity and mortality in the USA and worldwide. Diagnosis is made by a combination of clinical, histologic, and laboratory findings. Disease includes a spectrum ranging from fatty liver, which is generally benign, to hepatitis and cirrhosis, which can carry a poor prognosis. Although various pharmacologic therapies have been utilized, the most established treatments include supportive care, abstinence, and liver transplantation when appropriate.
