Alcoholic Liver Disease includes a broad clinical-histological spectrum from simple steatosis, cirrhosis, acute alcoholic hepatitis with or without cirrhosis to hepatocellular carcinoma as a complication of cirrhosis. The pathogenesis of ALD can be conceptually divided into 1) Ethanol mediated liver injury, 2) Inflammatory Immune response to injury, 3) Intestinal permeability and microbiome changes. Corticosteroids may improve outcomes, but this is controversial and probably only impacts short-term survival. New pathophysiology-based therapies are under study, including IL22, anakinra, and others. These studies provide hope for better future outcomes for this difficult disease.
