Alcoholic liver disease has once again entered our collective conscience. �A paper in 2012 showed the utility of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in acute alcoholic hepatitis. �As expected, this opened the floodgates. �Every liver transplant program in the USA is now under pressure to list and transplant patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD), resulting n a shift in the type of patients�to admit and list for OLT.� In consultation with Dr. Norman Gitlin, Dr. Norman Sussman and Dr. Michael Lucey�have put together�a collection of articles on current practices and future trends in the management of alcohol-related diseases. Expert authors from top institutions have contributed articles on the following topcs:�Histopathology; Alcohol and the Law; Alcoholic Liver Disease in Children; Alcohol Use Disorder; Pathogenesis of ALD; Acute Alcoholic Hepatitis; Nutrition and Malnutrition in ALD; Alcoholic Cirrhosis; Liver Transplantation for Alcoholic Liver Disease; CNS effects of Alcohol; and Will Studies in NASH Help to Manage AS.
