Alcohol Abstinence and Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis
Transplantation Proceedings, 2009Patients 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 ...

Genetic Markers in Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis
Human Heredity, 199211 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.

Coagulation inhibitors in alcoholic liver cirrhosis
Alcohol, 1998In 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 ...

Osteoprotegerin and RANKL in alcoholic liver cirrhosis
Liver International, 2005Abstract: 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, 1975The 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 In some alcoholics this may be superseded by alcoholic hepatitis, which may represent the link between the early lesion and cirrhosis.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 ...

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, 1998Liver 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.

[Alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Screening for hepatocellular carcinoma in liver cirrhosis].
Presse medicale (Paris, France : 1983), 2001HIGH INCIDENCE: Because of the high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with cirrhosis (3 to 5% per year) and the fact that curative treatment is currently available only for small sized tumors careful screening is warranted in this high risk population.
