 Alcoholic hepatitis is a syndrome of progressive inflammatory liver injury associated with long-term heavy intake of ethanol. The pathogenesis is not completely understood. Patients who are severely affected present with subacute onset of fever, hepatomegaly, leukocytosis, marked impairment of liver function e.g., jaundice, coagulopathy, and manifestations of portal hypertension e.g., ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, variceal hemorrhage. However, milder forms of alcoholic hepatitis often do not cause any symptoms.
