Levels of arsenic in alcohol-related liver disease.
Increased levels of arsenic were found in serum and urine and in hair and nails of patients suffering from alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). Various surveys were conducted in different places to find the cause for high arsenic in ALD. It was found that patients were consuming 'home made brew' which was contaminated with arsenic.
