Immunologic Reactions in Alcoholic Liver Disease

  • Chapter
Medical and Nutritional Complications of Alcoholism

Abstract

It is now generally accepted that immunologic reactions may contribute to the liver damage seen in patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD). The exact mechanisms by which immune reactions determine liver damage or whether immunologic alterations are seen in alcoholics without liver damage are, however, still not clear.
