Effect of alcohol on viral hepatitis and other forms of liver dysfunction

Sripriya Balasubramanian et al. Clin Liver Dis. 2005 Feb.

Abstract

Alcohol is a known hepatotoxic agent, which may exacerbate liver injury caused by other agents. The wide prevalence of alcohol use and abuse in society makes it an important cofactor in many other liver diseases. Examples of liver diseases that are significantly influenced by ingestion of alcohol include chronic viral hepatitis, disorders of iron overload, and obesity-related liver disease.
