Alcohol-related hepatitis (AH) is the most acute and severe manifestation of alcohol-related liver disease. AH represents a spectrum of disease and portends poor prognosis with severe disease. Severe AH can have up to a 70% mortality at 6 months in medically refractory disease. Treatment options are limited and, thus, represent a critical unmet need. This review provides an overview of outcomes across the spectrum of disease severity in AH. We discuss current treatments available for AH, and how they apply to contemporary medical practice.
