This study was carried out to evaluate the relative importance of various patterns in liver in patients followed with chronic ethylism at the Hepatology Unit Care Service of the Hospital Prof. Edgard Santos--University Federal of Bahia, Brazil. Ninety six individuals were submitted to liver biopsy. Of those, 69 (71.9%) presented with alcoholic lesions and 27 (28.1%) had other histologic features of liver disease not commonly related to alcoholism. These data suggested that the presence of other types of liver diseases are prevalent in alcoholic patients in Bahia and showed that, in addition to clinic and laboratorial evaluation, it is essential to perform the histological study to complete the diagnostic of the patients, and detect other liver diseases not associated to alcohol.
本研究旨在评估巴西巴伊亚联邦大学埃德加·桑托斯教授医院肝病科对慢性酒精中毒患者进行随访时，肝脏各种病变模式的相对重要性。96名个体接受了肝活检。其中，69例（71.9%）出现酒精性病变，27例（28.1%）有其他与酒精中毒通常无关的肝病组织学特征。这些数据表明，巴伊亚州酒精性肝病患者中存在其他类型的肝病，并且表明，除临床和实验室评估外，进行组织学研究对于完善患者诊断并检测与酒精无关的其他肝病至关重要。
