Observational Study of Alcoholic Liver Disease

This observational study aims to collect biological samples (like blood and urine) from people with Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD) and healthy individuals. The goal is to create a resource of samples that researchers can use to better understand ALD and develop new treatments. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 75 years old and have alcoholic steatosis (fat accumulation in the liver due to alcohol abuse) without significant scarring or inflammation. You would also need to show abnormal liver blood tests. This study is considered successful if it successfully builds this collection of samples over five years. The current recruitment status is unclear.
