Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2001
Alcoholic hepatitis is a multisystem disease seen in individuals who chronically abuse alcohol. When severe, it is associated with a very high mortality rate, with nearly 50% of severely affected persons dying within 1 month of hospitalization. Primary therapy is complete alcohol abstinence and supportive care.

Hepatic siderosis in alcoholics
Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1979In a population of 157 (120 males, 37 females) predominantly British alcoholics with liver disease, the incidence of some degree of hepatic siderosis, as estimated by stainable parenchymal iron, was 57.3%. The incidence of significant siderosis (grades III and IV) was 7%, and was similar for both sexes.

Although early studies of hepatitis C indicated this is a serious disease, more recent evidence shows it can be relatively benign. A major determinant of hepatitis C prognosis is alcohol consumption. Promotion of alcohol abstinence among people with hepatitis C could result in substantial reductions in morbidity, mortality and treatment costs.

<i>Background/Aims:</i> Alcohol use and hepatitis C are prominent risk factors for liver injury and this review offers the current understanding of each factor’s effects on liver disease. <i>Methods:</i> A Medline database search was preformed for English articles with a focus on alcohol, hepatitis C and liver disease.

Treatment of Alcoholic Hepatitis [PDF]
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2005 Cirrhosis and its sequelae are responsible for close to 2% of all causes of death in the United States. Some studies have suggested that the costs of liver disease may account for as much as 1% of all health care spending, with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) representing a major portion.

Alcoholic Hepatitis in Females
Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1988ABSTRACT In the period 1970–1984 alcoholic hepatitis was diagnosed by liver biopsy in 52 females. Thirty‐six patients with cirrhosis were generally in a worse clinical and biochemical state than those without cirrhosis. Biochemical tests for liver function showed significant improvement from admission to the time of liver biopsy.

Alcohol abuse and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection coexist with chronic liver disease in many patients. The mechanism of injury in these patients is probably multifactorial and involves, but is not limited to, a combination of diminished immune clearance of HCV, oxidative stress, emergence of HCV quasi-species, hepatic steatosis, increased iron stores,
