ABSTRACT
A first case is a 43-year-old male. He was admitted after hard drinking, and died two days later for hepatic coma. It is thought that this case applies to a diagnostic criteria of severe alcoholic hepatitis made by a Japanese reserch group about the relation of alcohol to liver. A second case is a 45-year-old male. He was also admitted after hard drinking, but he recovered rapidly. This case was diagnosed as Zieve's syndrome, because hyperlipemia and hemolytic anemia were found.<BR>Volumes of liver and spleen in these two cases were examined by computed tomography. Volumes of liver were more increased and those of spleen were more decreased than those of controls. In a second case a volume of liver was decreased gradually, and that of spleen was increased with recovery from sickness. It is thought that a volume of liver is increased in a patient with alcoholic hepatitis, because liver cells fall into ballooning. But the cause is unknown as yet that a volume of spleen is decreased.
