Clinical Presentation and Gene Expression of Acute Alcohol‐Induced Microvesicular Steatosis Mimicking Alcoholic Hepatitis
Laurent Spahr, Nicolas Lanthier, Mathieu Tihy, Jean‐Louis Frossard, Laura Rubbia‐Brandt, Nicolas Goossens – 8 January 2021 – Acute alcoholic microvesicular steatosis (MIC) may complicate heavy alcohol intake and present as alcoholic hepatitis (AH) syndrome. However, detailed clinical, biological, and histologic data associated with MIC are scarce. We compared the clinical presentation, histologic features, and hepatic transcriptomic of patients presenting with AH due to either MIC or severe alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH).
