Overview
Alcoholic liver disease should be differentiated from other diseases that produce similar symptoms, and other types of liver diseases. It should also be differentiated from diseases of the gallbladder. Conditions that may present in a similar manner to alcoholic liver disease are; cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, drug toxicity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and other forms of hepatitis (eg. viral, autoimmune).
Differentiating Alcoholic liver disease from other Diseases
Alcoholic liver disease can be differentiated from other diseases on the basis of clinical manifestations including fever, abdominal pain and jaundice. The diseases are:[1][2][3][4][5][6]
- Hemochromatosis
- Wilson's disease
- Viral hepatitis
- Alcoholic hepatitis
- Drug induced hepatitis
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Cirrhosis
- Cholestatic jaundice
Abbreviations:
RUQ= Right upper quadrant of the abdomen, LFT= Liver function test, SIRS= Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, ERCP= Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, N= Normal, AMA= Anti mitochondrial antibodies, LDH= Lactate dehydrogenase, GI= Gastrointestinal, CT= Computed tomography
