Doença hepática alcoólica é um dano ao fígado e à sua função devido ao consumo excessivo de álcool durante um prolongado período de tempo. O diagnóstico é feito pela história de consumo alcoólico excessivo e exclusão de outras causas de doenças hepáticas. Entretanto, é importante salientar que o consumo excessivo de álcool interage com outras causas de doença hepática crônica piorando a gravidade patológica e o desfecho clínico; exemplos importantes (relativamente comuns) são a associação com hepatite C crônica, obesidade e fígado gorduroso relacionado a diabetes e hemocromatose. | |||
