Brief Summary

Alcohol-associated liver disease is one of the most prevalent liver diseases worldwide, and the leading cause of liver transplantation in the U.S. Alcohol-related liver disease is associated with changes in the intestinal microbiota and metabolites.

Study Population

Patients and healthy control will be recruited mainly from the outpatient or inpatient departments of Wuhan Union Hospital.

You may qualify if:

  • \. The group of ALD:
  • aged \>18 years;
  • patients who meet the diagnostic criteria of ALD in Chinese Guideline for the Prevention and Management of Alcoholic Liver Disease (2018 Update);
  • history of chronic heavy alcohol consumption;
  • with relatively complete clinical data and good compliance.
  • \. The group of purely drinking:
  • aged \>18 years;
  • history of chronic alcohol consumption;
  • no evidence of fatty liver, hepatitis or liver injury.
  • \. The group of healthy control:
  • aged \>18 years;
  • without history of alcohol consumption;
  • no evidence of fatty liver, hepatitis or liver injury.

You may not qualify if:

  • with hepatocellular carcinoma or hepatic metastases;
  • combined with infectious liver diseases, such as hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, hepatitis D virus, hepatitis E virus and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV);
  • combined with non-infectious liver diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, drug-induced hepatitis, autoimmune liver disease, Immunoglobulin G subclass 4-related liver disease, Wilson's disease, alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, Budd-Chiari syndrome, and other congenital liver diseases;
  • combined with severe organic lesions of other organs;
  • pregnant and lactating women.
