Abstract
The features of the clinical course of alcoholic liver disease in various ethnic groups were studied in comparison with chronic alcohol-viral and viral hepatitis B.
All patients underwent clinical and laboratory examination.
It was revealed that in indigenous patients chronic alcoholic hepatitis was formed in a shorter time, as evidenced by the high frequency of their detection in the age groups up to 20 and from 20 to 29 years and was characterized by more pronounced clinical manifestations.
The main distinguishing features of alcoholic liver damage, regardless of the presence or absence of CVH infection, are hepatomegaly, the prevalence of pronounced extrahepatic manifestations, increased activity of AlAT in combination with GGT, and immunological changes.
