• #1 Symptoms and signs of acute alcoholic hepatitis

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3124878/

  Although there is not one specific sign or symptom related to alcoholic hepatitis (AH), a constellation of symptoms and signs can help make the diagnosis of AH with reasonable accuracy. […] Clinical features of acute AH can be subdivided into four broad headings. […] Although clinical jaundice is present in 40%-60% cases, hyperbilirubinemia is present in almost every patient with AH and is considered a cardinal feature of this disease. Other symptoms reported in AH patients include right upper quadrant pain, fever, tachycardia and tender enlarged liver. […] The frequency of these symptoms and signs varies with the severity of disease with a higher frequency in patients with severe disease. With a more severe disease, patients may have associated complications such as hepatic encephalopathy, renal failure or hepatorenal syndrome, ascites due to portal hypertension and bleeding tendencies due to coagulopathy and/or thrombocytopenia.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17853-alcoholic-hepatitis

  If you only have mild or early hepatitis, you might not have any symptoms. As the disease progresses, you may begin to notice: Tenderness or soreness in your upper right abdomen, where your liver is. Visibly swollen or enlarged liver. A distended abdomen, or swelling with fluid in your abdomen. Loss of appetite and weight loss. Nausea. Light-colored stools that float. […] When severe hepatitis has begun to interfere with your liver’s functioning, you may begin to notice signs of these complications, such as: Fever. Fast heart rate. Jaundice (yellowing of the whites of your eyes). Easy bleeding and bruising (thrombocytopenia). Confusion (hepatic encephalopathy). Fatigue and malaise. […] If it’s not too far advanced, it can be reversed by quitting alcohol. Those who don’t quit will continue to progress toward cirrhosis and liver failure. Existing scar tissue in your liver can’t be reversed, but you can still prevent further damage and preserve the rest of your liver by quitting.

  In many cases, people with alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD) do not have any noticeable symptoms until their liver is badly damaged. […] If you do experience early symptoms of ARLD, these are often quite vague, such as: abdominal pain (stomach ache), loss of appetite, fatigue, feeling sick, diarrhoea, feeling generally unwell. […] As the liver becomes more severely damaged, more obvious and serious symptoms can develop, such as: yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes (jaundice), swelling in the legs, ankles and feet caused by a build-up of fluid (oedema), swelling in your abdomen caused by a build-up of fluid known as ascites, a high temperature and shivering attacks, very itchy skin, hair loss, unusually curved fingertips and nails (clubbed fingers), blotchy red palms, significant weight loss, weakness and muscle wasting, confusion and memory problems, trouble sleeping (insomnia) and changes in your personality caused by a build-up of toxins in the brain, passing black, tarry poo and vomiting blood as a result of internal bleeding, a tendency to bleed and bruise more easily, such as frequent nosebleeds and bleeding gums, increased sensitivity to alcohol and drugs because the liver cannot process them. […] ARLD does not often cause symptoms until it’s reached an advanced stage. If you misuse alcohol, you may have liver damage, even though you have none of the symptoms above. […] See your GP as soon as possible if you have symptoms of ARLD.

  ARLD does not usually cause any symptoms until the liver has been severely damaged. […] When this happens, symptoms can include: feeling sick, weight loss, loss of appetite, yellowing of the whites of the eyes or skin (jaundice), swelling in the ankles and tummy, confusion or drowsiness, vomiting blood or passing blood in your stools. […] This means ARLD is frequently diagnosed during tests for other conditions, or at a stage of advanced liver damage. […] Alcoholic hepatitis, which is unrelated to infectious hepatitis, is a potentially serious condition that can be caused by alcohol misuse over a longer period. […] When this develops, it may be the first time a person is aware they’re damaging their liver through alcohol. […] The liver damage associated with mild alcoholic hepatitis is usually reversible if you stop drinking permanently. […] Severe alcoholic hepatitis, however, is a serious and life-threatening illness. […] Many people die from the condition each year in the UK, and some people only find out they have liver damage when their condition reaches this stage.

• #30 Alcoholic hepatitis – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_hepatitis

  Alcoholic hepatitis is hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) due to excessive intake of alcohol. Patients typically have a history of at least 10 years of heavy alcohol intake, typically 8-10 drinks per day. It is usually found in association with fatty liver, an early stage of alcoholic liver disease, and may contribute to the progression of fibrosis, leading to cirrhosis. Symptoms may present acutely after a large amount of alcoholic intake in a short time period, or after years of excess alcohol intake. Signs and symptoms of alcoholic hepatitis include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity), fatigue and hepatic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction due to liver failure). […] Severe cases are characterized by profound jaundice, obtundation (ranging from drowsiness to unconsciousness), and progressive critical illness; the mortality rate is 50% within 30 days of onset despite best care. […] The condition often comes on suddenly and may progress in severity very rapidly. […] Untreated alcoholic hepatitis mortality in one month of presentation may be as high as 40-50%.

• #31 Alcoholic-Associated Hepatitis – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK470217/

  Alcoholic hepatitis is a severe syndrome related to alcoholic liver disease. It is characterized by rapid onset of jaundice, malaise, tender hepatomegaly, and subtle features of systemic inflammatory response. […] Alcoholic hepatitis usually progresses to cirrhosis if drinking is continued. For those who discontinue alcohol, hepatitis returns to normal within a few months but the cirrhosis that has already occurred does not reverse. […] Patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis with an MDF greater than 32 have 30-day mortality of 30% to 50%. Forty percent of the patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis die within 6 months after the onset of the clinical syndrome. Jaundice and hepatic encephalopathy at the time of presentation indicate a poorer outcome. […] Mild alcoholic hepatitis generally runs a benign course and is completely reversible with the cessation of alcohol consumption.

  Although there is not one specific sign or symptom related to alcoholic hepatitis (AH), a constellation of symptoms and signs can help make the diagnosis of AH with reasonable accuracy. […] Clinical features of acute AH can be subdivided into four broad headings. […] Although clinical jaundice is present in 40%-60% cases, hyperbilirubinemia is present in almost every patient with AH and is considered a cardinal feature of this disease. Other symptoms reported in AH patients include right upper quadrant pain, fever, tachycardia and tender enlarged liver. […] The frequency of these symptoms and signs varies with the severity of disease with a higher frequency in patients with severe disease. With a more severe disease, patients may have associated complications such as hepatic encephalopathy, renal failure or hepatorenal syndrome, ascites due to portal hypertension and bleeding tendencies due to coagulopathy and/or thrombocytopenia.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_hepatitis

  Alcoholic hepatitis is hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) due to excessive intake of alcohol. Patients typically have a history of at least 10 years of heavy alcohol intake, typically 8-10 drinks per day. It is usually found in association with fatty liver, an early stage of alcoholic liver disease, and may contribute to the progression of fibrosis, leading to cirrhosis. Symptoms may present acutely after a large amount of alcoholic intake in a short time period, or after years of excess alcohol intake. Signs and symptoms of alcoholic hepatitis include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity), fatigue and hepatic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction due to liver failure). […] Severe cases are characterized by profound jaundice, obtundation (ranging from drowsiness to unconsciousness), and progressive critical illness; the mortality rate is 50% within 30 days of onset despite best care. […] The condition often comes on suddenly and may progress in severity very rapidly. […] Untreated alcoholic hepatitis mortality in one month of presentation may be as high as 40-50%.

  Alcoholic hepatitis is a clinical syndrome characterized by acute-onset jaundice and liver enzyme abnormalities in the setting of long-term heavy alcohol use. […] Alcoholic hepatitis is a clinical syndrome associated with acute-onset jaundice and liver failure. High rates of concomitant infections, systemic inflammation, and multiorgan failure lead to significant morbidity and mortality. […] Acute onset of jaundice is the only clinical sign or symptom required for the diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis. […] Other nonspecific signs and symptoms can support the diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis and suggest underlying chronic alcohol-associated liver disease. […] The presence of underlying cirrhosis and continued alcohol use negatively impact long-term prognosis. […] Severe alcoholic hepatitis is defined as a score of at least 32 using the Maddrey Discriminant Function tool or at least 21 using the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease tool.

  People who quit drinking alcohol after diagnosis show great improvement after six to 12 months. Milder cases often resolve completely. More severe cases can continue to show gradual improvement over the following years. Some livers may bear permanent scarring, but as long as you stay abstinent from alcohol, there won’t be ongoing damage. […] If you don’t stop drinking after diagnosis, you have a reduced life expectancy. For men who don’t stop drinking, the five-year survival rate is about 70%. For women who don’t stop drinking, it’s 30%. People with severe alcohol-induced hepatitis and advanced liver disease have poorer outcomes. Up to 40% of people with severe alcohol-induced hepatitis die within six months of diagnosis.

  Alcoholic hepatitis is inflammation (swelling and irritation) of the liver. Symptoms may not appear until damage to the liver is severe. Symptoms are similar to those of viral hepatitis. The first symptom may be a flu-like feeling. As the disease progresses, later symptoms include yellowish skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice); pale or clay-colored stools; dark urine; general itching; high temperature; swelling of the abdomen (belly) caused by fluid; painful, tender, and enlarged liver; mental confusion; and possible coma. With continued drinking, alcoholic hepatitis can progress to cirrhosis of the liver. […] It may take the liver weeks to months to heal.

  If you only have mild or early hepatitis, you might not have any symptoms. As the disease progresses, you may begin to notice: Tenderness or soreness in your upper right abdomen, where your liver is. Visibly swollen or enlarged liver. A distended abdomen, or swelling with fluid in your abdomen. Loss of appetite and weight loss. Nausea. Light-colored stools that float. […] When severe hepatitis has begun to interfere with your liver’s functioning, you may begin to notice signs of these complications, such as: Fever. Fast heart rate. Jaundice (yellowing of the whites of your eyes). Easy bleeding and bruising (thrombocytopenia). Confusion (hepatic encephalopathy). Fatigue and malaise. […] If it’s not too far advanced, it can be reversed by quitting alcohol. Those who don’t quit will continue to progress toward cirrhosis and liver failure. Existing scar tissue in your liver can’t be reversed, but you can still prevent further damage and preserve the rest of your liver by quitting.

• #78 Alcoholic Hepatitis (Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis) Treatment & Management: Approach Considerations, Cessation of Alcohol Intake, Diet and Nutritional Support

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/170539-treatment

  In most patients with alcoholic hepatitis, the illness is mild. The short-term prognosis is good, and no specific treatment is required. Hospitalization is not always necessary. […] In contrast, patients with severe acute alcoholic hepatitis are at a high risk for early death, at a rate of 50% or greater within 30 days. […] Patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis may benefit over the short term from specific therapies directed toward reducing liver injury, enhancing hepatic regeneration, and suppressing inflammation. […] Only prolonged alcohol abstinence is of demonstrated benefit in all these areas. […] In general, alcoholic hepatitis resolves or improves greatly following 6-12 months of alcohol abstinence, and continued improvement may be observed for several years. […] If alcohol abuse persists, alcoholic hepatitis invariably persists and progresses to cirrhosis, and the prognosis is dramatically worse.

• #82 Can Alcoholic Hepatitis Be Cured? Treatment & Prognosis

  https://www.medicinenet.com/can_alcoholic_hepatitis_be_cured/article.htm

  Prognosis for alcoholic hepatitis depends on the extent of liver damage and whether the person abstains from alcohol or continues drinking. The chances of full recovery from mild alcoholic hepatitis are excellent with total and immediate alcohol abstinence. Severe alcoholic hepatitis with complications has significantly high mortality, particularly if a person continues drinking. […] In mild and moderate disease with no complications, 30-day mortality may be less than 20%. However, mortality can exceed 40% in the case of severe alcoholic hepatitis with extensive liver damage and complications (decompensated liver disease). Overall, the 1-year mortality rate after hospitalization for alcoholic hepatitis is approximately 40%.

  Alcoholic hepatitis is a severe syndrome related to alcoholic liver disease. It is characterized by rapid onset of jaundice, malaise, tender hepatomegaly, and subtle features of systemic inflammatory response. […] Alcoholic hepatitis usually progresses to cirrhosis if drinking is continued. For those who discontinue alcohol, hepatitis returns to normal within a few months but the cirrhosis that has already occurred does not reverse. […] Patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis with an MDF greater than 32 have 30-day mortality of 30% to 50%. Forty percent of the patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis die within 6 months after the onset of the clinical syndrome. Jaundice and hepatic encephalopathy at the time of presentation indicate a poorer outcome. […] Mild alcoholic hepatitis generally runs a benign course and is completely reversible with the cessation of alcohol consumption.

  Alcoholic hepatitis is a clinical syndrome characterized by acute-onset jaundice and liver enzyme abnormalities in the setting of long-term heavy alcohol use. […] Alcoholic hepatitis is a clinical syndrome associated with acute-onset jaundice and liver failure. High rates of concomitant infections, systemic inflammation, and multiorgan failure lead to significant morbidity and mortality. […] Acute onset of jaundice is the only clinical sign or symptom required for the diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis. […] Other nonspecific signs and symptoms can support the diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis and suggest underlying chronic alcohol-associated liver disease. […] The presence of underlying cirrhosis and continued alcohol use negatively impact long-term prognosis. […] Severe alcoholic hepatitis is defined as a score of at least 32 using the Maddrey Discriminant Function tool or at least 21 using the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease tool. […] The Lille score distinguishes patients who would likely be responsive vs. unresponsive to steroids, predicting who could have poorer outcomes if steroid therapy was continued beyond seven days.
