Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in our country. Though the alcoholics are predisposed to develop alcoholic liver disease yet only 10- 20% of them develop alcoholic hepatitis. Several studies have incriminated the type, amount and duration of alcohol intake, ethnicity and gender as key determinants of this dreadful disease. This study was conducted to elucidate the overt and obscure risk factors for alcoholic liver disease. Material and methods: 106 patients of ALD admitted to General Medicine department of our hospital were evaluated clinically as well as using various biochemical and prognostic markers (Discriminant factor, Model of end stage liver disease and Child Pugh Score) and results correlated with the profile of their alcohol intake and socio demographic stratification. Results: The mean age of the study group was 46.93± 8.83 years. Country liquor was the most commonly consumed alcoholic beverage amongst the males (34.93%) while 95% of the females, consumed Hadiya, (traditional rice beer) explicitly. ALD developed earlier in those consuming country liquor and hadiya together (6.16± 1.49). The three prognostic scores showed a significant relationship between type of alcohol consumed and development of ALD.
