Alcoholic Hepatitis Research Studies

Alcoholic hepatitis is a reaction of the liver to years of heavy drinking. Inflammation from hepatitis may also cause scar tissue to form. Alcoholic hepatitis may cause a spectrum of problems, ranging from mild abnormalities in liver tests to serious illness requiring hospitalization and a substantial risk of death.
