Overview
Alcoholic Hepatitis should be differentiated from viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, Wilson disease, cholestatic causes of liver disease, and cirrhosis.
Differentiating Alcoholic hepatitis from other Diseases
Alcoholic hepatitis can be differentiated from other liver diseases based on the presence of jaundice and other symptoms including fever and abdominal pain.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
