What is Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD)?
Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD) is a serious condition caused by excessive and prolonged alcohol consumption. Over time, alcohol damages liver cells, leading to inflammation, scarring, and even liver failure. The earlier it’s identified and addressed, the better the chances of recovery. This disease doesn’t develop overnight. It’s a progressive condition that can go unnoticed until the liver is significantly compromised.
ALD is treatable, especially in its early stages.
Lifestyle changes combined with medical guidance offer real hope.

Causes & Risk Factors
This condition primarily stems from alcohol overuse, but several contributing factors can accelerate liver damage.
Chronic Alcohol Consumption
The primary driver, especially in high daily amounts.
Obesity
Increases risk of fatty liver and speeds up progression of damage.
Poor Nutrition
Alcohol interferes with the body’s nutrient absorption.
Hepatitis Infections
Co-existing hepatitis B or C can worsen liver damage
Managing Alcoholic Liver Disease
Managing ALD focuses on stopping liver damage and managing complications through lifestyle changes and medication.
Complete Alcohol Cessation
Stopping alcohol intake is the single most critical step in treating alcoholic liver disease. Continuing to drink can accelerate liver damage, even if other treatments are in place.
Nutritional Therapy
Alcohol disrupts nutrient absorption, leading to severe deficiencies. Nutritional therapy involves personalized diet plans, vitamins (especially B-complex and folic acid), and sometimes intravenous supplements.
Medications
Doctors may prescribe corticosteroids or other anti-inflammatory drugs in certain cases, especially if liver inflammation is severe. Additional medications can help reduce oxidative stress on liver cells, treat infections, or manage complications.
Liver Transplant
In advanced cases where the liver is severely scarred and non-functional, a liver transplant becomes the only life-saving option. Patients must meet strict criteria, including sustained alcohol abstinence and stable overall health, to be eligible for a transplant.
