Abstract

This article provides an overview of alcoholic cirrhosis, the most advanced form of alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD). It examines the etiology, emphasizing chronic alcohol consumption and its metabolic consequences leading to hepatic fibrosis. The paper explains the pathophysiology, including the biochemical mechanisms of ethanol metabolism and resultant oxidative stress. Clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies-ranging from alcohol abstinence to liver transplantation-are discussed. The study also highlights the importance of prevention, nutritional rehabilitation, and patient education to reduce global morbidity and mortality associated with alcoholic cirrhosis.
