RESUMEN
La hepatitis alcohólica es una forma aguda de daño hepático que se presenta en personas que consumen cantidades significativas de alcohol durante un periodo largo de tiempo. El espectro clínico puede ir desde estados asintomáticos hasta falla hepática aguda, por lo cual es de difícil diagnóstico. El esquema terapéutico tiene múltiples alternativas como soporte médico, tratamiento farmacológico o ambos, y trasplante hepático, sin embargo, el pilar fundamental es la abstinencia al alcohol.
ABSTRACT
Alcoholic hepatitis is an acute form of liver injury that occurs in people who consume large amounts of alcohol over prolonged period. The clinical spectrum can range from asymptomatic states to acute liver failure; therefore, it is difficult to diagnose. The therapy has multiple alternatives as medical support, pharmacological treatment, or both, and liver transplantation, but the mainstay is alcohol abstinence.
