Alcoholic Hepatitis

  • Chapter
Alcohol and the Liver

Abstract

The pathogenesis of alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is, as yet, unknown. Our approach to the problem has been to start with a study of the AH lesion in order to search for clues which would suggest the pathogenesis. Subsequent experiments have been designed to pursue the leads derived from the morphologic observations.
