The spectrum of alcohol induced liver disease. Histological features.
Alcohol may induce a variety of changes in the liver. None of the features are diagnostic, but some are relatively specific. Usually the simultaneous occurrence of one or more non-specific lesions in combination with other more specific changes leads to the correct diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease.
