Abstract :

To study the various clinical features and Liver Function Test in alcoholic liver diseases and histopathological changes that occurs in alcoholic liver diseases. To correlate the histopathology observed with the amount and duration of alcohol consumption. The study was conducted including the patients admitted in Liver Care Unit at Gandhi Hospital, Hyderabad. A total of 50 patients of alcoholic liver diseases were studied. The results obtained are analysed. The wide prevalence of alcoholic liver disease including cirrhosis among Indian males was noted with significantly lower quantity and duration of alcohol ingestion. The severity of liver damage is directly proportional to the quantity and duration of alcohol consumed. Clinical features and biochemical changes may forecast the liver histopathology among the patients of alcoholic liver disease.
