- Abstract
Common causes of chronic liver ailments are alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Sedentary lifestyles and the easy availability of alcohol have expanded their prevalence around the world. The majority of NAFLD patients are asymptomatic when their fatty liver is identified during a standard medical examination. Radiological and biochemical studies can demonstrate that ALD necessitates a sizable history of alcohol intake. People with NAFLD and ALD rarely have liver enzyme readings that are more than five times the upper limit of normal. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has led to an increase in the number of people requiring a liver transplant. Patients with NAFLD frequently exhibit coexisting risk factors, including obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome. From a therapeutic perspective, it might be difficult for many people to provide a continuous history of heavy alcohol use. The diagnosis of ALD requires the use of screening techniques and laboratory tests. Numerous screening techniques can be quickly employed during a clinical visit and are backed by several studies. They can be used to locate patients who may be alcohol-dependent.
