Alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver is an advanced form of fatty liver disease in which the liver becomes scarred, hardens, and shrinks due to excessive alcohol consumption. Alcoholic hepatitis is an inflammation and necrosis of liver tissue due to excessive alcohol consumption. Alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver and alcoholic hepatitis can occur together. Symptoms of these diseases may include yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), poor appetite, fatigue, weight loss, and weakness.
Pathophysiology. Fatty liver is the accumulation of triglycerides and other fats in the liver cells. The amount of fatty acid in the liver depends on the balance between the processes of delivery and removal. In some patients, fatty liver may be accompanied by hepatic inflammation and liver cell death (steatohepatitis).
