Alcoholic hepatitis is a condition characterized by liver inflammation caused by excessive alcohol consumption. It is a serious and potentially life-threatening form of liver disease that can lead to liver failure if not treated promptly. Symptoms of alcoholic hepatitis can include jaundice, abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss. Diagnosis is typically made through blood tests, imaging studies, and liver biopsy. Treatment may include abstinence from alcohol, nutritional support, corticosteroids, and other medications to help reduce liver inflammation. In severe cases, liver transplantation may be necessary. Preventing alcoholic hepatitis involves limiting alcohol intake and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
