Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a leading cause of preventable cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and liver-related mortality, yet current laboratory and imaging tools detect only late-stage disease. This narrative review synthesizes emerging evidence on novel biomarkers that capture the multidimensional pathophysiology of ALD and discusses their utility for routine clinical practice. Traditional serum-based liver fibrosis markers (e.g., cytokeratin-18 fragments, Pro-C3, the enhanced liver fibrosis test) improve non-invasive staging risk beyond aminotransferases, while elastography techniques, such as vibration-controlled transient elastography and magnetic resonance elastography, can also quantify liver stiffness with high precision. Among novel mechanistic biomarkers, genetic polymorphisms in PNPLA3, TM6SF2, MBOAT7, HSD17B13, and polygenic risk scores define lifetime risk, whereas sex-specific hormonal milieus also modify susceptibility and progression. Moreover, gut dysbiosis signatures, including reduced Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Akkermansia muciniphila, and a lower Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, and their metabolites (short-chain fatty acids, and bile acids, trimethylamine N-oxide) correlate with liver inflammation and fibrosis. Endocrine imbalances of cortisol, testosterone, and thyroid hormones further stratify metabolic vulnerability. Ultimately, multi-omics platforms (i.e., transcriptomics, lipidomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics) can reveal distinct molecular signatures that predict steatohepatitis, fibrogenesis, and early HCC. Integrating these biomarkers enables phase-specific enrichment strategies, earlier intervention windows, adaptive dose-finding, and mechanismbased endpoints in ALD trials. Remaining challenges include assay standardization, validation across diverse cohorts, and incorporation into regulatory frameworks. Future work could evaluate cost-effectiveness and feasibility in routine clinical practice. Widespread adoption promises earlier diagnosis, personalized risk reduction, and more efficient drug development for this globally prevalent disorder.

Alcohol-related liver disease

Liver-lung axes in alcohol-related liver disease
Gavin E. Arteel
Clin Mol Hepatol 2020;26(4):670-676.
Published online October 1, 2020
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2020.0174
Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) and alcohol-related susceptibility to acute lung injury are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality due to chronic alcohol abuse. Most commonly, alcohol-induced injury to both organs are evaluated independently, although they share many parallel mechanisms of injury. Moreover, recent studies indicate that there is a potential liver lung axis that may contribute to organ pathology. This mini-review explores established and potential mechanisms of organ-organ crosstalk in ALD and alcohol-related lung injury.

Alcohol-related liver disease

Oxidative stress and glutamate excretion in alcoholic steatosis: Metabolic synapse between hepatocyte and stellate cell
Hee-Hoon Kim, Sung Eun Choi, Won-Il Jeong
Clin Mol Hepatol 2020;26(4):697-704.
Published online October 1, 2020
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2020.0152
Chronic alcohol consumption induces the development of alcoholic steatosis in the liver, which is one of the most widespread liver diseases worldwide. During general alcohol metabolism, hepatocytes generate mitochondria- and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1)-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) whose accumulation elicits activation of the hepatic anti-oxidant system, including glutathione (GSH). However, chronic alcohol consumption decreases GSH generation through cysteine deficiency by suppressing the methionine cycle and trans-sulfuration system, whereas it turns on an alternative defense pathway, such as the xCT transporter, to compensate for GSH shortage. The xCT transporter mediates the uptake of cystine coupled to the efflux of glutamate, leading to an increase in blood glutamate. In response to the elevated glutamate in the liver, the expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is up-regulated in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) along with enhanced production of 2-arachidonoylglycerol, which in turn stimulates cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) on neighboring hepatocytes to increase de novo lipogenesis. On the other hand, blockade of mGluR5 and CB1R attenuates alcoholic steatosis. Interestingly, although the increased expression of CYP2E1-mediated xCT and ROS generation are mainly observed at the perivenous area (zone 3), fat accumulation is mostly detected at hepatic zone 2. To resolve this discrepancy, this review summarizes recent advances on glutamate/mGluR5-derived alcoholic steatosis and zone-dependently different responses to alcohol intake. In addition, the bidirectional loop pathway and its unique metabolic synapse between hepatocytes and HSCs are discussed.

A 3-month alcoholism rehabilitation program at psychiatric hospitals is common in Japan for patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). However, many AUD patients are often hospitalized for the treatment of digestive disorders due to alcohol-related liver diseases and pancreatitis. In this sense, AUD patients need to be better supported by professionals and departments in general hospitals. Here we analyzed the problems in alcohol-related medical care in Japan and examined the measures to be taken at general hospitals.

Fecal microbiota transplantation in alcohol related liver diseases
Saggere Muralikrishna Shasthry
Clin Mol Hepatol 2020;26(3):294-301.
Published online June 23, 2020
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2020.0057
The current standard of care for severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH) has several limitations in that only up to one-third of patients are eligible for steroid therapy. Additionally, steroids have their own issues: a portion of patients do not respond, while there is doubtful long-term benefit in those who do and a large proportion are ineligible to receive steroids entirely and hence have no definitive options for treatment. As such, there is a large gap between the problem and the available solutions. Alcohol causes dysbiosis and also disrupts gut barrier function, consequently promoting the translocation of microbial lipopolysaccharide into the portal circulation and liver. Therefore, probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, or transplantation of gut microbiota are likely to attenuate the dysbiosis-related liver insult. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is expected to have a role in managing alcoholic liver disease in general and SAH in particular by correcting dysbiosis, the primary insult. Results from mouse studies have suggested beyond doubt that alcohol-related liver injury is transferrable and also treatable by adopting FMT from suitable donors. Initial human trials from our center have affirmed benefits in human subjects with SAH as well, with both improvements in disease severity and as well as the rate of survival. Further studies addressing the head-to-head comparison of steroids and FMT are ongoing. Available preliminary data are promising and FMT and/or gut microbial modulation might become the standard of care in the near future for managing alcohol-related liver diseases, especially alcoholic hepatitis, with greater applicability, improved acceptability, and minimal side effects.

Alcohol-related liver disease

Role of liver transplantation in severe alcoholic hepatitis
Ravi Daswani, Ashish Kumar, Praveen Sharma, Vikas Singla, Naresh Bansal, Anil Arora
Clin Mol Hepatol 2018;24(1):43-50.
Published online January 10, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2017.0027
Severe alcoholic hepatitis has very high short term mortality and corticosteroids have been the mainstay of treatment for decades. Patients with Lille score >0.45 are considered non-responders to steroids and have poor outcome. Recently Orthotopic Liver Transplantation (OLT) is being increasingly used as rescue treatment for these patients, without waiting for 6 months of abstinence. Liver transplant is the only rescue treatment which can potentially provide long term benefit for patients who are steroid non-responders. However, with scarcity of organs being a concern, all patients of severe alcoholic hepatitis cannot be chosen for transplantation in an arbitrary way. There is a need for development of predictive tools and objective protocols to select patients who can justify the use of precious liver grafts. With a stringent criteria for selection of patients receiving the graft, liver transplantation in severe alcoholic hepatitis can become a viable rescue therapeutic option conferring significant survival advantage of both short- and long-term basis. The optimal criteria for selection will also prevent misuse of the liver donor pool as well as to prevent mortality in salvageable patients. Further research needs to be done to identify subset of patients which are at low risk of recidivism and also cannot be managed with pharmacotherapy alone. We reviewed the current knowledge on role of OLT in patient with acute severe alcoholic hepatitis in the present review.

Alcohol-related liver disease

Microbiota, a key player in alcoholic liver disease
Anne-Marie Cassard, Dragos Ciocan
Clin Mol Hepatol 2018;24(2):100-107.
Published online December 22, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2017.0067
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Only 20% of heavy alcohol consumers develop alcoholic liver cirrhosis. The intestinal microbiota (IM) has been recently identified as a key player in the severity of liver injury in ALD. Common features of ALD include a decrease of gut epithelial tight junction protein expression, mucin production, and antimicrobial peptide levels. This disruption of the gut barrier, which is a prerequisite for ALD, leads to the passage of bacterial products into the blood stream (endotoxemia). Moreover, metabolites produced by bacteria, such as short chain fatty acids, volatile organic compounds (VOS), and bile acids (BA), are involved in ALD pathology. Probiotic treatment, IM transplantation, or the consumption of dietary fiber, such as pectin, which all alter the ratio of bacterial species, have been shown to improve liver injury in animal models of ALD and to be associated with an improvement in gut barrier function. Although the connections between the microbiota and the host in ALD are well established, the underlying mechanisms are still an active area of research. Targeting the microbiome through the use of prebiotic, probiotic, and postbiotic modalities could be an attractive new approach to manage ALD.

Case Report

Liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and portal hypertension

Bilateral optic neuropathy related to severe anemia in a patient with alcoholic cirrhosis: a case report and review of the literature
Lisa Humbertjean-Selton, Jérôme Selton, Nolwenn Riou-Comte, Jean-Christophe Lacour, Gioia Mione, Sébastien Richard
Clin Mol Hepatol 2018;24(4):417-423.
Published online October 25, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2017.0021
Anemia appears frequently in patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) but has never been linked to bilateral nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). A 65-year-old woman with a medical history of alcoholic cirrhosis was admitted for bilateral NAION. On admission, she was found to have a low arterial pressure and severe normocytic anemia (48 g/L). The anemia was related to chronic bleeding due to antral gastritis along with other factors associated with ALD. The applied treatment consisted of urgent transfusion followed by high doses of proton-pump inhibitors, iron and vitamin supplementation, and support in lifestyle measures. Her hemoglobin levels remained stable after 2 years but the patient still suffered from visual loss. This case highlights the link between anemia and bilateral NAION in ALD patients. The optic nerve head is prone to infarction in this context due to the vascularization characteristics of ALD. Hemoglobin levels should be monitored in ALD patients to avoid the severe complication of NAION.

Steatotic liver disease

Genetic predisposition in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Silvia Sookoian, Carlos J. Pirola
Clin Mol Hepatol 2017;23(1):1-12.
Published online March 9, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2016.0109
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease whose prevalence has reached global epidemic proportions. Although the disease is relatively benign in the early stages, when severe clinical forms, including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma, occur, they result in worsening the long-term prognosis. A growing body of evidence indicates that NAFLD develops from a complex process in which many factors, including genetic susceptibility and environmental insults, are involved. In this review, we focused on the genetic component of NAFLD, with special emphasis on the role of genetics in the disease pathogenesis and natural history. Insights into the topic of the genetic susceptibility in lean individuals with NAFLD and the potential use of genetic tests in identifying individuals at risk are also discussed.

Clinical Predictors of Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome in Patients with Alcoholic Liver Disease
Won Choong Choi,Dae Sik Choi
Korean J Hepatol 2000;6(4):441-447.
Background/Aims
Although alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is often developed in the patients with alcoholic liver disease, the studies about which clinical factors are associated with the development of AWS have been rarely studied. The aim of this study was to reveal clinical factors indicating a higher risk for the development of AWS at admission. Methods: The retrospective case-controlled study was conducted among patients with alcoholic liver disease. The cases were divided into two groups according to whether AWS was developed or not. We compared their past medical history, physical examination and laboratory data at admission. Results: AWS was significantly developed in patients who had experienced AWS in the past, increased serum chloride concentration at admission. Conclusions: It is possible to predict the patients who are more likely develop to AWS by means of past medical history and a serum biochemical test at admission. We suggest more intensive therapy will be required to prevent the development of AWS in these patients. These results are preliminary and need further prospective development and validation, particularly regarding the variety of variables.

The Short Term Prognosis in Alcoholic Liver Disease with Metabolic Acidosis
Ki Sun Bae , Kwon Yoo , You Kyung Cho , Ki Nam Shim , Sung Ae Jung , Il Hwan Moon
Korean J Hepatol 2004;10(2):117-124.
Background/Aims
Alcoholic liver disease with metabolic acidosis may have possible causes such as alcoholic ketoacidosis, diabetic ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis. Salicylate, methanol, and ethylene glycol intoxication should also be considered. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term prognostic factors in patients with alcoholic liver disease with metabolic acidosis. Methods: Clinical data related to twenty-nine patients with alcoholic liver disease and metabolic acidosis was analysed retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups according to the outcome (survival or death). Past medical history, and physical, laboratory and radiologic data at admission were compared. Results: The amount of daily alcohol intake differed significantly between the two groups (P=0.034), but duration and total amount of alcohol intake did not differ significantly between the two groups (P=0.128; P=0.360). The presence of ascites differed significantly between two the groups (P=0.019). On laboratory testing, the following differed significantly: base excess (P=0.038), hemoglobin (P=0.019), platelet (P=0.040), total bilirubin (P=0.007), albumin (P=0.012), creatinine (P=0.014), phosphorus (P=0.021), chloride (P=0.010), ammonia (P=0.003), prothrombin time (P=0.033), fibrinogen (P=0.011) and D-dimer (P=0.024). Review of the medical history of the patients showed diabetes (10/29), cirrhosis (10/29), and hepatocellular carcinoma (1/29). Combined conditions at admission were sepsis (8/29), pneumonia (7/29), acute renal failure (6/29), rhabdomyolysis (5/29), gastrointestinal hemorrhage (4/29), acute pancreatitis (3/29), acute respiratory distress syndrome (2/29), and acute myocardial infarction (1/29). Conclusions: The amount of daily alcohol intake, base excess, hemoglobin, platelet, total bilirubin, albumin, creatinine, phosphorus, chloride, ammonia, prothrombin time, fibrinogen and D-dimer seemed to be useful parameters in predicting short-term prognosis of patients with alcoholic liver disease with metabolic acidosis. Further study is needed to define the significance of these factors. (Korean J Hepatol 2004;10:117-124)

Clinical Characteristics of Factory Workers with Asymptomatic Liver Function Test Abnormalities found on Serial Health Examination
Kang Mo Kim, M.D., Yoon Jun Kim, M.D., Kwang Hyuck Lee, M.D. and Domyung Paek, M.D., M.Sc., S.D.1
Korean J Hepatol 2005;11(2):144-156.
Background/Aims
The liver function tests (LFTs), such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (γ-GT), have been widely used as screening tests but their low positive predictive value can cause many false positive results. To evaluate the clinical usefulness of these tests, we analyzed the serial LFT results for factory workers, and we compared the risk factors for the groups that were divided according to the serial LFT results. Methods: From June 2001 to October 2001, 1223 consecutive healthy workers in a single factory were enrolled in our study; a questionnaire, LFT and liver ultrasonography were done for all the subjects. The previous LFT results were collected from the Annual health examination survey. According to the abnormalities on the serial LFT, the participants were classified into three groups (abnormal-in-both, alternating or, normal-in-both) and the risk factors were compared among these groups using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of LFT abnormality on a single test was 16.8%, but on the serial LFT, only 5% of the study participants showed consistent abnormality. The risk factors for the abnormal-in-both group, compared with the alternating group, were liver ultrasonography abnormality such as a fatty liver (odds ratio, 2.2; P=0.026) and a heavy alcohol intake (more than 210 g/week) (odds ratio, 7.2; P=0.064). HBsAg was not a significant risk factor for any of the three groups. Conclusions: In factory workers having serial LFT abnormalities, alcoholic liver disease could be the principal cause of abnormal LFT. Even if the HBsAg were positive in patients with abnormal LFT, there is the possibility of another causes for LFT abnormalities such as alcoholic liver disease and non-alcoholic steatosis or steatohepatitis.
