Alcoholic hepatitis is a distinct clinical syndrome amongst people with chronic and active alcohol abuse with a potential for 30–40% mortality at one month amongst those with severe disease. Corticosteroids or pentoxifylline are the current pharmacological treatment options but provide only about 50% survival benefit. These agents are recommended for patients with modified discriminant function (mDF) of ≥32 or model for end-stage disease (MELD) score of ≥18. The Lille score is used to determine response to steroids. Currently, a minimum of 6 months abstinence from alcohol use is required for patients to receive a liver transplant, a requirement that cannot be met by patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis non-responsive to steroids (Lille score ≥0.45). Data are emerging on the benefit of liver transplantation in select patients with first episode of severe alcoholic hepatitis. This review also focuses on recent treatment trials in alcoholic hepatitis including liver transplantation and its associated controversies, as well as possible future targets and pharmacological treatment options for patients with alcoholic hepatitis that are being pursued through upcoming consortium studies.
