Mortality associated with alcohol-related liver disease

The Genetics of Alcohol- Related Liver Disease

Collaborative care for alcohol-related liver disease.

By implementing collaborative care for patients with alcohol misuse and alcohol-related liver disease, the Royal Bolton Hospital aimed to improve and coordinate their care by recruiting a multidisciplinary team and placing the patient at the centre of all efforts. There has been a marked improvement in the accuracy of the drinking histories taken, detoxification, dietary documentation, and pati...

Progression of liver fibrosis is associated with non‐liver‐related mortality in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

In patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), prognosis and outcome, especially non-liver-related mortality, remain incompletely elucidated. We clarified the mortality from all causes in patients with NAFLD. A total of 4,073 patients with NAFLD diagnosed by ultrasonography were enrolled. We investigated the causes of death and analyzed the mortality from non-liver-related diseases ...

Statin use is not associated with liver related mortality.

BACKGROUND AND AIM. Statins are commonly used medications for the treatment of dyslipidemia. Although there are reported cases of hepatotoxicity related to statins, very few are associated with severe course and liver failure. MATERIAL AND METHODS. We used the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)-mortality linked files to assess the association between statin use ...

Alcohol consumption, folate intake, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver disease mortality.

BACKGROUND Excessive alcohol consumption is a well-established risk factor for liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous studies have found that increased alcohol consumption can lead to lower absorption of folate. Conversely, higher folate intake has been inversely associated with liver damage and HCC. In the current study, we investigate the effect of alcohol consumption and ...
