Clinicians ought to be experienceded on the diagnosis and treatment of the broad spectrum of hepatologic conditions related to ethanol consumption. Combined with the 2010 AASLD/ACG guidelines on the treatment of serious alcoholic hepatitis, PTX needs to be considered an alternative to corticosteroids and shows up to especially efficient in ALD patients with renal dysfunction/hepatorenal syndrome. Cirrhosis frequently is an indolent disease; most patients continue to be asymptomatic up until the occurrence of decompensation, defined by ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatic encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding from portal hypertension. Physical examination of patients with cirrhosis may expose a variety of findings that require a hepatic- or gastrointestinal-based work-up to identify the etiology.
