酒精性肝病(alcoholic liver disease,ALD)是由于长期大量饮酒所致的肝脏疾病。在西方国家,酒精中毒是慢性肝病的最重要原因。随着我国人民的生活水平逐渐提高,酒精的产量和摄入量也逐渐增多,ALD的发生率在我国人群中呈逐渐上升趋势。在中国,乙醇已成为仅次于肝炎病毒导致肝损害的第二大病因。研究ALD的危险因素对该病的预防有很大意义。

Alcoholic liver disease （ALD） is caused by long-term heavy drinking. In the western countries, alcohol- ism is the most important causes of chronic liver disease.
