Alcoholic Hepatitis

Alcoholic hepatitis is a liver condition caused by excessive alcohol consumption, leading to inflammation and damage. It can result in symptoms like jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), abdominal pain, nausea, and fatigue. The severity can range from mild to life-threatening. Factors such as the amount and duration of alcohol use, as well as overall health, influence the risk of developing this condition. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, often involving alcohol cessation, nutritional support, and medical care to prevent further liver damage.
