RESUMEN
El consumo crónico de alcohol se acompaña de un amplio espectro de trastornos orgánicos, derivados de la acción directa de la oxidación del alcohol y de la producción de acetaldehído, o bien de las deficiencias nutricionales asociadas. La enfermedad hepática alcohólica es una de las alteraciones más frecuentes en los alcohólicos crónicos y se caracteriza por presentar desde lesiones leves como esteatosis hasta una cirrosis hepática. También son importantes las alteraciones neurológicas, de patogenia menos clara, pero relacionadas con la acción directa del alcohol y las deficiencias nutricionales. Asimismo, es frecuente que el alcohólico crónico tenga manifestaciones del tracto gastrointestinal y páncreas, asi como trastornos hematológicos, metabólicos y endocrinos. El alcoholismo crónico también se asocia a osteoporosis y osteopenia, al desarrollo de ciertos tipos de cáncer y a la fetopatía alcohólica (AU)
ABSTRACT
Chronic alcohol intake results in a wide spectrum of organic disturbances derived from the alcohol oxidation and the subsequent generation of acetaldehyde, as well as from the nutritional deficiencies associated with alcohol intake. Alcoholic liver disease is the most prevalent organic abnormality observed in chronic alcoholic, ranging from fatty liver to established cirrhosis. Neurologic diseases are also frequent. Its pathogenesis is less clear, but it probably results from the direct toxic effect of alcohol as well as nutritional deficiencies. Moreover, alcoholic patients also may experience other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, as well as hematological, metabolic and endocrine disturbances. Chronic alcoholism is also associated with osteopenia and osteoporosis, the development of cancer and the fetal alcoholic syndrome (AU)
