Abstract

Both alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease are leading contributors to chronic liver diseases. These conditions often coexist, exacerbating disease progression. Despite ALD be-ing a leading cause of liver transplantation, many individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) do not receive treatment. In this review, we discussed the epidemiology of ALD in AUD, various treatment options for AUD, and their efficacy on liver health. Our critical analysis of current evidence underscores the need for integrated models involving multiple stakehold-ers to improve ALD management.
