Recent advances in alcohol-related liver disease (ALD): summary of a Gut roundtable meeting
Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD), which includes a range of disorders of different severity and is
one of the most prevalent types of liver disease worldwide, has recently regained increased
attention. Among other reasons, the realisation that any alcohol intake, regardless of type of
beverage represents a health risk, and the new therapeutic strategies tested in recently published or
undergoing clinical trials spur scientific interest in this area.
In April 2019, Gut convened a round table panel of experts during the European Association for the
Study of the Liver (EASL) International Liver Congress (ILC) in Vienna to discuss critical and up-to-date
issues and clinical trial data regarding ALD, its epidemiology, diagnosis, management,
pathomechanisms, possible future treatments and prevention. This paper summarises the discussion
and its conclusions
