Article Synopsis
- Excessive alcohol consumption is a major health issue linked to high mortality and liver diseases, but there aren't standardized methods to spot early signs of alcohol-related liver disease.
- This study focused on veterans with severe alcohol use disorder (AUD) to determine how common elevated liver stiffness is and what factors influence long-term sobriety.
- Findings showed that 12% of veterans screened had concerning liver stiffness, and those with elevated measurements were more likely to stay sober for a year; integrating mental health and liver care can help manage these patients better.
