- Abstract— Alcohol consumption is associated with a wide range of adverse health and social consequences. Alcoholic Hepatitis is one of the consequence of alcoholism. So an observational study was designed over the period of one year to study clinical profile and effects of Alcoholic Hepatitis. The study was carried out in 100 consecutive patients admitted to tertiary care hospital with alcoholic hepatitis. Data entry and analysis was done in Microsoft excel through Descriptive statistic and chi-square tests. It was observed that most patients with Alcoholic Hepatitis drinks more than 100 g/d with 150-200 g per day being common. In the present study 92% of patients were heavy alcoholics i.e. more than 80gm/day. This suggests that alcoholic hepatitis mostly occurs in heavy drinkers. Present study suggests that Discriminate Factor score does not associate with complications like hepatic encephalopathy and ascites. SGOT, SGPT, serum bilirubin, prothrombin time and serum albumin didn’t associate well with amount of alcohol intake. This study also observed that patient with Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Score of more than 9 have more chance of complications like hepatic encephalopathy and ascites. It can be concluded from this study that most of the alcoholic hepatitis patients were young adults and middle age population, who were is active and productive mass of society. Early detection of alcoholic liver disease can decrease both morbidity and mortality due to alcoholic liver disease.
