Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a significant form of liver inflammation that arises as a direct consequence of excessive alcohol consumption. Characterized by the rapid onset of various symptoms, patients typically present with jaundice—a yellowing of the skin and eyes—alongside malaise, loss of appetite (anorexia), and notably tender hepatomegaly (enlarged liver). Additionally, they may exhibit signs consistent with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), which further complicates their clinical status.
