What is the first stage of liver deterioration?

  • Minimal change, or fatty liver: heavy drinkers often develop fatty change in the liver. This is not linked to deterioration in liver function, but abnormalities may be seen in some of the blood tests that give an indirect measure of liver disease (also called 'liver function tests' or 'LFTs'). Fatty liver is reversible with abstinence from alcohol, but it is the first stage in the progression to cirrhosis.
  • Alcoholic hepatitis: the effects of this condition can be mild but may also be life threatening. The LFTs will almost always be abnormal, and the patient may develop jaundice. As with fatty liver, abstinence from alcohol can reverse the effects, but those who continue to drink heavily have a high risk of developing cirrhosis.
  • Cirrhosis: this is the final, irreversible stage of ALD and is characterised by scarring of the liver and development of liver nodules. It severely affects liver function and reduces life expectancy. The LFT's are usually abnormal, there may be jaundice (yellow colouring of the eyes and skin) and sometimes bruising or bleeding caused by abnormalities of the blood clotting system. In an advanced stage of ALD (severe alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis) the remaining liver capacity is insufficient for it to carry out its normal functions, then the body's metabolism becomes badly affected and the stage of 'decompensated ALD' is reached. Complications of this are discussed below.
