Presence of serum alpha-1-fetoprotein in alcoholic hepatitis.
Alpha-Fetoprotein was detected in a patient with alcoholic hepatitis during the acute phase of the illness. The alpha-fetoprotein was no longer detected as clinical improvement developed. No evidence of malignant disease was found after an extensive evaluation. This case represents another example of a non-neoplastic disease associated with the presence of increased serum levels of alpha-fetoprotein.
