近年来国内外关于乙醇性肝病的研究有了较太的进展。随着对乙醇在体内代谢过程的深入了解,提出了一些新的理论,如免疫病理、自由基等对乙醇性肝病发生发展中的作用,乙型肝炎病毒感染对乙醇性肝病的影响也受到重视。酒精对人体来说是一种有机异物。由于其主要在肝脏代谢,长期饮酒易致肝脏损伤,引起酒精性肝病。在西方国家,80—90%的肝硬化为酒精性肝硬化。在纽约,酒精性肝病是33—55岁死亡原因的第三位。当然,对乙醇的易感性存在个体与种族的差 In recent years, domestic and foreign research on ethanol liver disease has made more progress. With the in-depth understanding of the metabolic process of ethanol in the body, some new theories have been proposed, such as immunopathology, free radicals and other effects on the development of alcoholic liver disease, the impact of hepatitis B virus infection on alcoholic liver disease has also been valued . Alcohol is an organic foreign body to the human body. Because of its metabolism in the liver, long-term consumption of alcohol can easily lead to liver damage, causing alcoholic liver disease. In western countries, 80-90% of cirrhosis is alcoholic cirrhosis. Alcoholic liver disease is the third leading cause of death in 33-55 years in New York.
