What is Alcoholic Hepatitis?
Alcoholic hepatitis is a serious liver condition caused by excessive alcohol consumption over time. It leads to liver inflammation, which can progress to liver scarring (fibrosis), cirrhosis, or even end-stage liver disease if not treated promptly. This condition is often seen in people with a history of chronic alcohol use or alcohol use disorder, especially those who continue drinking despite liver-related symptoms. The liver plays a critical role in detoxifying your body. When overwhelmed by toxins from alcohol, it becomes inflamed and damaged, resulting in conditions like toxic hepatitis (alcohol-related).Symptoms
