Alcoholic liver disease is a medical condition that occurs due to excessive and prolonged consumption of alcohol. It encompasses a range of liver-related conditions, such as fatty liver disease, alcoholic hepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. The progression of alcoholic liver disease is influenced by various factors, including genetic predisposition, the amount and duration of alcohol use, and the presence of other liver diseases. Research in this area aims to understand the underlying mechanisms of alcoholic liver disease, develop effective treatments, and improve prevention strategies. Key areas of study include the role of oxidative stress, inflammation, and liver regeneration in the development and progression of the disease.
