Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ARLD)
Expert Care for Alcohol-Related Liver Conditions
At Neftaly Hepatology Specialists, we provide comprehensive care for individuals living with Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ARLD) — a serious condition caused by prolonged and excessive alcohol consumption. Our multidisciplinary team of hepatologists, addiction counselors, dietitians, and support staff is dedicated to helping you regain liver health and overall well-being.
What Is Alcohol-Related Liver Disease?
Alcohol-Related Liver Disease refers to liver damage resulting from long-term alcohol abuse. It typically progresses in three stages:
- Alcoholic Fatty Liver (Steatosis)
The earliest stage, where fat builds up in liver cells. Often reversible with alcohol abstinence. - Alcoholic Hepatitis
Inflammation of the liver, which may range from mild to life-threatening. Symptoms include jaundice, nausea, and abdominal pain. - Alcoholic Cirrhosis
The most severe stage, where scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue, leading to permanent damage and liver failure if untreated.
Common Symptoms of ARLD
- Fatigue and weakness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
- Abdominal pain or swelling
- Loss of appetite and weight loss
- Easy bruising or bleeding
Note: Many people with early ARLD may have no symptoms, making screening and regular check-ups critical.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
At Neftaly, we use a combination of clinical evaluation, blood tests, imaging (ultrasound, FibroScan®), and liver biopsy (when needed) to accurately assess liver function and damage. Our advanced diagnostic tools help us detect ARLD early and personalize your treatment plan.
Treatment Options
While there is no medication to reverse ARLD, the liver has an incredible ability to heal — especially when alcohol is eliminated. Our comprehensive approach includes:
- Alcohol Cessation Support
Medically supervised detox, addiction counseling, and long-term recovery planning. - Nutritional Therapy
Tailored diets to support liver regeneration and correct nutrient deficiencies. - Medication Management
For inflammation, infections, and complications like ascites or encephalopathy. - Monitoring and Surveillance
Regular follow-ups to track liver health and prevent progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. - Liver Transplant Evaluation
For eligible patients with end-stage liver disease.
