Alcohol consumption is one of the leading causes of liver damage worldwide, often progressing silently until serious complications arise. Alcohol Associated Liver Disease (ALD) encompasses a spectrum of liver conditions ranging from simple fatty liver (steatosis) to alcoholic hepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial to prevent progression and improve long-term outcomes.

Patients with advanced liver damage are carefully monitored for complications such as ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, and liver failure.
