Abstract
10 of a series of 108 patients with alcoholic liver disease presented with cholestasis associated with non-cirrhotic alcoholic liver disease and without evidence of extrahepatic biliary obstruction. In 7 patients liver histology and the associated conditions presenting as cholestasis were heterogeneous. However, in 3 patients who had been drinking excessively before cholestatic jaundice developed, cholestasis was a major feature of liver histology. The term acute alcoholic cholestasis is suggested for this apparently distinct syndrome of cholestatic jaundice in the absence of hepatitis.
