Alcoholic Liver Disease


The symptoms of alcoholic hepatitis include vague abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, fever, diarrhea, fatigue and malaise. Alcoholic liver disease is the most common liver disease in the United States also it is encountered most commonly and results in between 20,000 and 40,000 deaths per year. It is the fourth leading cause of death among Americans.
Most patients with alcoholic hepatitis stabilize after 4-5 days and in fact, most patients without alcoholic hepatitis experience some form of deterioration within the first 4-5 days of hospitalization. After 4-5 days, the sequences of alcoholic hepatitis begin to become less but people with severe alcoholic hepatitis can result in death.
