Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- The pathogenesis of Alcoholic Hepatitis is multifactorial.
- Alcoholic Hepatitis is caused by interplay between alcohol metabolism, inflammation and innate immunity. [1]
- The Alcohol metabolism leads to a reduced ratio of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH. The NAD depletion inhibit fatty acid oxidation and causes fat accumulation in hepatocytes associated with lipogenesis. [1]
- Due to increased intestinal permeability in patients with Alcoholic Hepatitis, high levels of Endotoxemia is recognized.[1]
- Endotoxin binds to lipopolysaccharide and translocate from intestine to hepatocytes.[2]
- In hepatocytes, lipopolysaccharide bindes to CD14 molecule and toll-like receptor 4 on surface of Kupffer cells.[3]
- These bindings activate Kupffer cells to release reactive oxygen species.[2]
- This activation release tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), interleukin-8, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), andplatelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) which are responsible for characterized symptoms including malaise, fever, and peripheral neutrophil leukocytosis. [4] [5]
Histologic Findings
- Steatosis
- Mallory body - a condition where pre-keratin filaments accumulate in hepatocytes. This sign is not limited to alcoholic liver disease.[6]
- Ballooning degeneration - hepatocytes in the setting of alcoholic change often swell up with excess fat, water and protein. Accompanied with ballooning, there is necrotic damage. The swelling blocks biliary ducts, leading to diffuse cholestasis.[6]
- Inflammation - Neutrophilic invasion is triggered by the necrotic changes and cellular debris within the lobules.[6]
- If chronic liver disease is also present:
Genetics
- The role of alcohol in developing alcohol liver injury is not clear. [7]
- People who are not alcoholics do not develop alcohol liver injury.[7]
