Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive and potential cause of liver disease in the western world and it is most common in Nepal. Numerous data are available regarding alcoholic liver disease (ALD) with biochemical and hematologic indicators but very few works have been made in the Nepalese context. Hence, an effort has been made to evaluate the status of biochemical markers in ALD among the Nepalese subjects.166 ALD cases were enrolled in our OPD. Out of total ALD patients, 110 (66.27 %) patients were male and 56 (33.73%) patients were female. ALD patients had significantly low body weight (p 1 were found with ALD patients respectively. The percentage of hemoglobin and total number of RBC were found to be significantly decreased, whereas mean corpuscular volume (MCV) significantly increased in ALD. The findings of the present study are consistent with previous studies, suggesting that hepatocytes damage causes leak of these enzymes into the circulation. This study concludes that biochemical and hematological parameters is
