Overview
Alcoholic liver disease may progress to fatty liver, hepaticsteatosis, Alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic steatonecrosis,fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Complications of Alcoholic hepatitis include [[variceal hemorrhage,hepatic encephalopathy,ascites,Coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia,spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and iron overload. Different scoring systems were presented to predict the prognosis and mortality among patients with Alcoholic hepatitis. The most recent and accurate one is called Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) score.
Natural history, complication, and prognosis
Natural history
- Alcoholic liver disease may progress to one of the following stages:[1] [2]
- Fatty liver or hepaticsteatosis
- Steatohepatitis defined as Alcoholic Hepatitis or alcoholic steatonecrosis
- Fibrosis
- Cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
- The liver biopsy of around 20-40% of the individuals with steatosis is suggestive of steatohepatitis
- After development of steatohepatitis, the hepatic change is irreversible, even after the abstinence
Complication
- Complications of Alcoholic Hepatitis include: [3]
Prognosis
- Compared to steatosis, development of Alcoholic Hepatitis is associated with nine -times higher risk of developing cirrhosis as well as 40 % chance of 180- days mortality.[4]
- Continuing alcohol consumption can lead to development of cirrhosis in 70 % subjects with Alcoholic Hepatitis[5]
- Alcoholic Hepatitis is considered to be fatal as 1-year mortality rate among subjects is 25%. [6]
- The progression of precirrhotic disease to cirrhosis are reported as the following rates:[7]
- 1% (0-8%) for patients with normal histology
- 3% (2-4%) for hepatic steatosis
- 10% (6-17%) for steatohepatitis
- 8% (3-19%) for fibrosis
- Maddrey et al. described Discriminant Function (DF), is a predictor of severity of Alcoholic Hepatitis:[8]
- Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) predicts mortality risk in patients with end-stage liver disease[9]
- Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Score (GAHS) is another scoring system which calculated the risk based on age, serum bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, PT, and peripheral WBCcount [10]
- Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) score is the most recent predictor of severe Alcoholic Hepatitis [11]
- ADMA score is a better predictor of outcomes of Alcoholic Hepatitis than other scoring systems
