Alcoholic hepatitis is a liver condition caused by excessive alcohol consumption, leading to inflammation of the liver. It can occur after a single episode of heavy drinking or after prolonged alcohol use. Symptoms may include jaundice, abdominal pain, nausea, and fatigue. If left untreated, alcoholic hepatitis can progress to more severe liver damage, such as cirrhosis or liver failure. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, imaging studies, and a review of the patient's alcohol consumption history. Treatment focuses on abstaining from alcohol, managing symptoms, and supporting liver health.
