* [[Mallory body]] - a condition where pre-keratin filaments accumulate in hepatocytes. This sign is not limited to alcoholic liver disease, but is often characteristic.<ref name="robspath">{{cite book | title=Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease| last=Cotran| coauthors=Kumar, Collins| publisher=W.B Saunders Company| location=Philadelphia| id=0-7216-7335-X}}</ref>

* Ballooning degeneration - hepatocytes in the setting of alcoholic change often swell up with excess fat, water and [[proteins|protein]]; normally these proteins are exported into the bloodstream. Accompanied with ballooning, there is necrotic damage. The swelling is capable of blocking nearby [[biliary duct]]s, leading to diffuse [[cholestasis]].<ref name="robspath"> </ref>
*People who are not [[alcoholics]] do not develop [[alcohol]] [[liver]] injury.<ref name="pmid16440362">{{cite journal| author=Zintzaras E, Stefanidis I, Santos M, Vidal F| title=Do alcohol-metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphisms increase the risk of alcoholism and alcoholic liver disease? | journal=Hepatology | year= 2006 | volume= 43 | issue= 2 | pages= 352-61 | pmid=16440362 | doi=10.1002/hep.21023 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=16440362  }} </ref>
* [[Inflammation]] - [[Neutrophil]]ic invasion is triggered by the necrotic changes and presence of cellular debris within the [[lobules]]. Ordinarily the amount of debris is removed by [[Kupffer cells]], although in the setting of inflammation they become overloaded, allowing other white cells to spill into the [[parenchyma]]. These cells are particularly attracted to hepatocytes with Mallory bodies.<ref name="robspath"> </ref>
If chronic liver disease is also present:
* [[Fibrosis]]
* [[Cirrhosis]] - a progressive and permanent type of fibrotic degeneration of liver tissue.
