As alcohol damages the liver and creates scar tissue, liver function declines. If you continue to drink heavily, the stages of liver disease progress. Cirrhosis is considered a late-stage liver disease, and it's at this point that you may develop ascites.
Ascites is often the earliest complication of ESLD; when present it indicates 50% 2-year mortality. Median survival is 6 months when ascites becomes refractory. Encephalopathy that is severe or refractory has a 12-month average survival.
For (assigned) males in this group, the five-year survival rate is about 70%. For (assigned) females, it's 30%. People with severe alcohol-induced hepatitis and advanced liver disease have poorer outcomes. Up to 40% of people with severe alcohol-induced hepatitis die within six months of diagnosis.
There is currently no cure for alcoholic hepatitis, but treatment will aim to reduce or eliminate symptoms and stop the progression of the disease. Scarring of the liver is permanent, but the liver can repair some of the damage. Treatment aims to restore typical function to the liver as much as possible.
