NCT03773887

Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is the comparison of the profile of the pro-inflammatory cytokines at the patients suffering from an alcoholic hepatitis to that of two groups witnesses: patients suffering from an alcoholic cirrhosis and unhurt patients of chronic liver disease

    Baseline

  • Cell lysis (AST, ALT, CK18 cleaved)

    Baseline

  • Regeneration markers (Ki-67, Fn14, CK7)

    Baseline

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • group A: patients with acute alcoholic hepatitis
  • Active alcohol abuse defined by DSM IV and excessive alcohol consumption prior to admission (\> 60 g per day for men and\> 40 g per day for women)
  • Moderate elevation of transaminases (less than 500 U / L) with a typical ASAT / ALAT ratio of 2: 1
  • Bilirubin\> 50 mg / l
  • Absence of autoimmune liver disease (ANA \<1/80, AML \<1/80, LKM1 neg, AAM neg)
  • Absence of hepatitis B and C and HIV infection (negative anti-HIV antibodies, negative HBsAg, negative HCV PCR)
  • Patients with other acute complications than alcoholic hepatitis may be included (eg, digestive hemorrhage, acute renal failure, infection, etc.)
  • Because there is no validated noninvasive tool for the diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis, histological confirmation is required in all patients (preferably by transjugular biopsy): alcoholic hepatitis will be diagnosed on the presence of the following histological characteristics: Hepatocellular lesions (ballooning, Mallory body)/ Inflammatory infiltrate with polymorphonuclear neutrophils
  • group B1: patients with alcoholic cirrhosis
  • Decompensated or non-decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis, defined according to the HAS guidelines, ie by a liver biopsy or a cluster of clinico-biological arguments (www.has-sante.fr)
  • group B2: patients free from chronic liver disease
  • Justification of blood and liver sampling for the management of a pathology other than chronic liver disease (eg liver metastasis of digestive cancer occurring on healthy liver)

You may not qualify if:

  • For groups A and B1:
  • Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma of progressive non-hepatic cancer
  • Presence of HBsAg
  • Presence of anti-HCV antibodies by positive PCR
  • Presence of antibodies to HIV 1 +2
  • Pregnancy
  • for group B2:
  • Alcoholic liver disease
  • Presence of HBsAg
  • Presence of anti-HCV antibodies by positive PCR
  • Presence of antibodies to HIV 1 +2
  • Pregnancy
