摘要

酒精性肝病（alcoholic liver disease，ALD）是由於長期大量的乙醇攝入導致的肝臟損害及其一系列病變，初期常表現為脂肪肝，進而進展為酒精性肝炎、酒精性肝纖維化和酒精性肝硬化。近年來工商業的發達，交際應酬使酒精消耗量逐年上升。適量飲酒對人類健康無明顯損害，但過量則嚴重威脅人類健康。肝臟是酒精代謝主要器官，在酒精（乙醇）代謝中，可以將乙醇轉化為乙醛，乙醛在肝內具有極強的化學活性和毒性作用，所產生的內毒素可誘導脂肪變性和肝細胞凋亡。西醫至今無特殊療法，唯一只有戒酒和戒酒綜合證的防治。中醫可以依辨證論治的病因分六種證型來治療因脂肪肝、肝炎、肝硬化、黃疸的症狀治療上有不同療效。希望未來中西醫的結合能夠提出一個重點研究。

Alcoholic liver disease(ALD) is due to taking in a large volume alcohol for a long time, resulting in the damage of liver. At the early stage of the disease, fatty liver happens, and then becomes alcoholic hepatitis, fibrosis of liver, and liver cirrhosis. Because of the development of industrialization, social activities make the consumption of alcohol raised. There is no obvious damage of human health if drinking adequately. However, drinking too much damages human health seriously. Liver is the organ that metabolizes alcohol. When metabolizing alcohol, alcohol is transformed into Acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde possesses strong chemical activity and toxin, which would lead to death of liver cell. Until now, there is no special treatment in Western medication. The only way is to give up drinking and prevent alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Traditional Chinese Medical uses syndrome differentiation and treatment to treat fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, fibrosis of liver, liver cirrhosis, and Jaundice by six types of syndromes and the effectiveness is different. Hope the combination of Traditional Chinese Medication and Western Medication will focus on this research.
