Introduction: The term "alcoholic liver disease" refers to the hepatic consequences of drinking too much alcohol, including fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and chronic hepatitis with cirrhosis or hepatic fibrosis. Alcoholism causes cirrhosis in a number of nations, including India, and alcoholic liver disease is one of the top 10 fatalities worldwide. Methodology: The present study was conducted at the Department of Biochemistry, Index Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Indore. After ethical clearance and informed consent, patients aged 30-60 years of chronic alcoholic disease patients diagnosed on the basis of WHO norms. Result: The Index Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Indore, included 62 adult subjects in its outpatient department (OPD). Out of the total patients, 54 patients were male and patients were female in terms of sex. The patients were placed into four groups according to their ages, which ranged from 30 to 60. Patients of both sexes between the ages of 35 and 40 have the highest frequency of ALD. Conclusion: We advocated screening for alcohol consumption in all adult patients presenting to the hospital as early detection of ALD could decrease morbidity and mortality related to ALD. Monitoring GGT, AST, and ALT in combination is a sensitive technique of determining severity of alcohol induced liver damage. |
