AlcHepNet - 01 (Alcoholic Hepatitis Network Observational Study)
Enrolling: Yes
Principle Investigator: Naga Chalasani, MD
Duration: 5 years
Primary Outcomes Measured: To collect and store clinical data to facilitate investigations of the epidemiology, diagnosis, pathophysiology, natural history, and treatment of alcoholic hepatitis.
Secondary Outcomes Measured: To develop a bio-specimen bank comprised of plasma, DNA, and other biological specimens obtained from patients with alcoholic hepatitis, heavy drinkers without clinical liver disease, and healthy subjects to support translational research in the pathophysiology of alcoholic hepatitis.
