Alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD) progresses in three stages. Fatty Liver, the earliest stage, involves fat buildup in the liver. Alcoholic Hepatitis causes inflammation and liver cell damage, often accompanied by jaundice and discomfort. Cirrhosis, the final stage, leads to irreversible scarring, severe symptoms, and potential liver failure. Alcohol-related liver disease, or ARLD, refers to the damage suffered by the liver owing to years of excessive drinking. Long-term alcohol abuse can cause the liver to become swollen and inflamed. Such damage can even lead to scarring, known as cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is essentially the final stage of ARLD.
