Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of alcoholic liver disease include screening and counseling for alcohol abuse disorder. Physicians must have a low threshold for screening as many patients would not be comfortable about discussing their alcohol dependence.
Primary Prevention
Effective measures for the primary prevention of alcoholic liver disease include:[1][2]
- Patient should be asked about the CAGE questions (Sensitivity ≥ 70% and Specificity > 90%)[2][3]
- Counseling about alcohol abuse disorder
- Screening for alcohol abuse
