Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Alcohol-Related Liver Disease and Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis

Copyright © 2022, Gastro-Hep Communications, Inc..

Alcohol-related liver disease is a spectrum of disease in which continued, significant alcohol use can cause progression from fatty changes in the liver to inflammation, fibrosis, and eventually cirrhosis. The rates of alcohol consumption, alcohol use disorder, and alcoholrelated liver disease have increased substantially during the past several years. However, the amount of alcohol consumption may not be the only risk factor for such progression of disease. Studies have found several other risk factors, including sex, race, and genetic predisposition, as possible culprits of worsening disease. As a result, clinicians must understand and implement screening tools for early diagnosis and remain up-to-date with the evolving nature of treatment options. This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of alcohol use disorder as well as the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of alcohol-related liver disease, including alcohol-associated hepatitis.
