    Acute alcoholic hepatitis was diagnosed in 2.73% of patients with alcoholic liver disease. This condition, primarily affecting males, presents with fever and liver dysfunction, with outcomes depending on underlying liver damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) encompasses a spectrum of liver damage due to excessive alcohol consumption.
    • Acute alcoholic hepatitis (AAH) is a severe, often life-threatening form of ALD.
    • Understanding the prevalence and characteristics of AAH is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of acute alcoholic hepatitis in a cohort of patients with alcoholic liver disease.
    • To characterize the demographic, clinical, and histopathological features of patients diagnosed with AAH.
    • To identify factors influencing the clinical presentation and evolution of AAH.

    Main Methods:

    • Morphologic examination of 1,025 cases of alcoholic liver disease.

  • Diagnosis of acute alcoholic hepatitis based on established criteria.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, alcohol consumption patterns, hepatic lesional substrate, triggering factors, and clinical presentation.

    • Main Results:

    • 28 cases (2.73%) of acute alcoholic hepatitis were identified.
    • The majority of affected patients were male (75%), with a mean age of 45 years.
    • Common findings included hepatic steatosis, cirrhosis, steatofibrosis, fever, encephalopathy, hepatomegaly, and a hepatocytolytic-cholestatic syndrome. Alcohol abuse was the primary trigger in 27 cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Acute alcoholic hepatitis is a significant complication in patients with alcoholic liver disease, occurring in 2.73% of cases.
    • The disease predominantly affects middle-aged males and is characterized by a distinct clinical and biochemical profile.
    • The severity of the underlying hepatic lesional substrate significantly influences the clinical course and outcome of acute alcoholic hepatitis.
