Alcohol induces hepatic steatosis NAD NADH ACETALDEHYDE Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Alcohol increases gut permeability Alcohol metabolism produces oxidative stress ACETATE Alcohol metabolism produces acetaldehyde H20 + CO2 Substrate supply MECHANISMS OF HEPATOCYTE INJURY IN ASH -oxidation (PPAR-α inhibition) Fatty acid synthesis (SREBP-1c induction) FREE FATTY ACIDS Dietary fat intake Lipolysis of adipose fat NADH/NAD GLYCEROL-3-PHOSPHATE gut permeability CYP2E1/Fe alcohol metabolism ADH Esterification endotoxin oxidative stress acetaldehyde TRIGLYCERIDE Phosphatidate Phosphohydrolase host protein Export from the liver KC lipid peroxidation adducts Increased by alcohol Inhibited by alcohol VLDL cytokines necroinflammation apoptosis & fibrosis protein function ER stress immune mechanisms Acetaldehyde and ER stress ALD SUSCEPTIBILITY Acetaldehyde (+ homocysteine)?unfolded proteins ER stress Dose, timing and type of alcohol Reduces protein synthesis Increases fat and cholesterol synthesis Increases transcription of pro-apoptotic genes Diet Gender Decreases GSH transport through Mt membrane Non-gender linked genetic susceptibility Sensitizes to TNF-induced killing From Lluis JM Gastroenterology

4 ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS CLINICAL FEATURES ACUTE ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS Range from none to liver failure Some correlation with histology Mild/Mod histology: non-specific Anorexia/fatigue, RUQ pain, hepatomegaly. Severe histology: liver specific Ascites (30-60%), splenomegaly (15%), jaundice (50%), pyrexia (50%), tender hepatomegaly. ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS - DIAGNOSIS HISTOLOGY Is it alcoholic hepatitis? Recent onset of jaundice in a heavy drinker on the background of recent alcohol consumption Liver cell damage (ballooning degeneration) Inflammatory cell infiltrate (neutrophils) Fibrosis (pericellular Chicken-wire ) Perivenular distribution ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS PROGNOSTICATION PROGNOSTICATION Prognosticate prior to specific treatment DF 1989 GAHS 2005 DF = 4.6 (PT - Control PT) + Bi/17 DF > 32 = 35% 28 day mortality DF > 32 get benefit from steroid treatment 4

Can we finer tune who gets steroids? 3. What about those that present with sepsis? 4. Can we prognosticate on steroids? CAN WE PREDICT OUTCOME ON STEROIDS? (ECBL) WHAT DO WE DO WHEN STEROIDS FAIL? 238 patients, all DF>32 All treated with steroids ECBL = any fall in bilirubin at 7 days (73%) Highly predictive of 6 month outcome? Stop steroids at 7 days Mathurin Hepatology 2003 Pentoxifylline? 29 switched at day 7. No better survival than matched retrospective cohort Mathurin J Hep 2008 MARS?
