Baillieres Clin Gastroenterol. 1993 Sep;7(3):683-96. doi: 10.1016/0950-3528(93)90008-g.

Abstract

Many of the extrahepatic manifestations of alcoholic liver disease are not specific and can be seen in other forms of cirrhosis and with alcohol abuse. Features that are more common or more florid in patients with alcoholic liver disease have been discussed in this chapter. Alcoholic liver disease results in changes in many systems in the body and it is important that these are recognized and treated where appropriate.
