Abstract

Alcohol consumption is undoubtedly an urgent problem of our time, since it is considered an important risk factor for the development of many diseases, often leading to disability and even death. In the latest comparative assessment of risk factors for the development of various diseases, carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO), alcohol is given an honorable third place. It is second only to risk factors such as promiscuous intercourse and underweight in children and is ahead of factors such as unsafe drinking water, lack of basic sanitation and hygiene, hypertension, high cholesterol, or smoking. ALD is understood as steatosis, alcoholic steatohepatitis, progressive fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is known that all these diseases develop when alcohol is taken in doses exceeding "safe" ones. It is important to identify ALD at the early stages of its development and prescribe adequate therapy, as a result of which the control over the disease is increased, the number of its complications decreases, the costs of treatment are reduced, and the duration and quality of life of patients with ALD increases. In this connection, the authors have studied possible prognostic markers for the development of alcoholic liver disease in the article.
