Liver Cirrhosis, Alcoholism and Alcohol Consumption

Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 1974
Analysis of male liver cirrhosis death rates and alcohol consumption in 38 countries suggests that cirrhosis death rates are related to wine consumption and may not be a satisfactory basis for estimating the prevalence of alcoholism.

Alcohol Abstinence and Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis

Transplantation Proceedings, 2009
Patients diagnosed with acute alcoholic hepatitis (AAH) are routinely managed medically and not considered suitable for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The eligibility for OLT in these patients has been questioned due to the social stigma associated with alcohol abuse, based on the fact that AAH is "self-induced" with an unacceptably high ...

Coagulation inhibitors in alcoholic liver cirrhosis

Alcohol, 1998
In the present study we have analyzed the relationship between coagulation inhibitors (antithrombin III, protein C and S, thrombomodulin), liver function impairment, and plasma activity of the endothelium-derived proteins plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) in 27 alcoholic cirrhotic patients and 25 controls ...

Genetic Markers in Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis

Human Heredity, 1992
11 genetic markers were typed in 157 individuals suffering from alcoholic cirrhosis, and compared with a random sample of healthy individuals. No significant differences were found for transferrin, specific group component, orosomucoid, esterase D, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and adenylate kinase.

Osteoprotegerin and RANKL in alcoholic liver cirrhosis

Liver International, 2005
Abstract: Background/aims: The mechanisms leading to osteoporosis in alcoholic liver disease remain poorly understood. Recently identified soluble circulating osteoprotegerin (OPG), is the osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor. It acts as a decoy receptor for osteoclast activating factor, receptor activator of nuclear factor‐κB ligand (RANKL), and ...

Relation of Alcoholic Liver Injury to Cirrhosis

Clinics in Gastroenterology, 1975
The earliest and most reproduceable lesion associated with chronic alcohol abuse is fatty liver. In some alcoholics this may be superseded by alcoholic hepatitis, which may represent the link between the early lesion and cirrhosis. Alcoholic cirrhosis usually begins as a regular, monolobular variety, but is eventually transformed into an irregular ...

[Alcoholic liver cirrhosis].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 1994
In alcoholic liver disease, it is well-known that ethanol and its metabolites induce hepatic fibrosis. With progress in injury, the accumulation of extracellular matrix, which consists of type I, III, IV collagen and laminine, occurs in the area of hepatic central vein and perihepatocytes.

Alcoholic Recidivism After Liver Transplantation for Alcoholic Cirrhosis

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1998
Liver transplantation (LT) for alcoholic cirrhosis remains controversial. This controversy surrounding LT in alcoholics focuses on the risk of alcohol recidivism and on potential noncompliance with the immunosuppressive regimen, both of which result in graft failure.

Alcoholism and liver cirrhosis in the etiology of primary liver cancer

International Journal of Cancer, 1992
AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the risk of developing primary liver cancer in patients with a diagnosis of alcoholism, liver cirrhosis, or both. Three population‐based, mutually exclusive cohorts were defined on the basis of hospital discharge diagnoses between 1965 and 1983.
