Alcoholic liver disease in the elderly
Long-term excessive drinking can cause repeated fatty degeneration, necrosis and regeneration of liver cells through ethanol itself and its derivative acetaldehyde, leading to alcoholic liver disease, including alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, hepatic fibrosis and hepatocirrhosis. In Europe and the United States, alcoholic liver disease is one of the main causes of death among young and middle-aged people. Its clinical manifestations are diverse, usually fatty liver in the early stage, which can then develop into alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic fibrosis and alcoholic cirrhosis. Severe alcoholism can induce extensive hepatocyte necrosis or even liver failure.
