Talk:Alcoholic liver disease

message: This section on pathophysiology is really amateur. It's colloquial and full of errors. Someone with medical background should address this.

replies: text: Aside from "alkalyzing" the body, what sounds like alt med?  I'll delete that part, but the rest can probably be referenced.  I have a nutrition textbook I'll try to dig out this weekend. Noformation Talk 19:58, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Were you thinking of citing this? Would be good under external links. I agree with the previous comment about this article needing work. Could check out some of the various reviews on Pub Med written by Drs. Lieber, Rubin, Tsukamoto, Cedarbaum, Israel, Albano, Li and others. If anyone has any questions or needs any help on this topic, holler on my Talk page. Rhode Island Red (talk) 01:20, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Perhaps a mention of the small number of pain senses in the Liver would add to the Article. Pain is one of the first signs the body gives something is wrong with an organ. However, the Liver has few pain senses and can be nearly destroyed by cirrhosis without any pain being felt. When you finally realise something is wrong, it is usually in the later stages of Liver illness. Johnwrd (talk) 19:23, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm not a doctor, I came to this page out of general curiosity.  The sex section is very poorly written and seems spectacularly dubious.  I'm pretty sure you can't 'pass' cancer to another person.  I'm going to remove it, please tell me here if I'm sorely mistaken.  162.18.172.11 (talk) 17:06, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sex section is highly dubious 

message: Could someone with the math skills (not me) please convert the part in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_liver_disease#Risk_factors "Consumption of 60–80g per day (about 75–100 ml/day) for 20 years or more in men, or 20g/day (about 25 ml/day) for women" to a figure actually usable by the general public? Adding a line about approximately four servings of beer, three servings of wine, two shots of whiskey (or whatever the typical amount would work out to be) would be helpful indeed. I know of nobody who goes out to purchase alcohol by the gram. How many real world beverages does it take? Cramyourspam (talk) 17:10, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

message: The article discusses "alcohol-related mortality", but that's just off-topic filler material. How many people die of alcohol-related liver disease specifically? If nobody knows, then fine - say nobody knows, and if possible explain why. This article isn't about number of deaths due to alcohol, it's about liver disease due to alcohol.
