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.
Alcoholic fatty liver disease results from the deposition of fat in liver cells. It is the earliest stage of alcohol-related liver disease. There are usually no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they may include fatigue, weakness, and discomfort localized to the right upper abdomen. Liver enzymes may be elevated, however tests of liver function are often normal. Many heavy drinkers have fatty liver disease. Alcoholic fatty liver disease may be reversible with abstinence of alcohol.
