摘要
Introduction:With the global burden of chronic liver disease (CLD) on the rise, especially due to the rise in obesity and metabolic syndrome, a third-world country like Nepal faces a different problem. With alcohol intake being rooted in Nepalese culture, alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the most common cause of CLD in our society. Methods:This is a retrospective observational study conducted in the inpatient ward of the Department of Gastroenterology at the University in Nepal. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee, and a structured questionnaire format was used to record the data retrospectively using admission log books and admission sheets. Demographic data regarding age, sex, and address were collected, while the form of decompensation during presentation was used as a source of clinical data. For statistical analysis, see SPSS 21 (IBM Corp., Released 2012. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0; IBM Corp.) was used. Results:A male-to-female ratio of 2:1 was found, with ALD the most common cause of CLD in admitted patients. Similarly, the majority of patients were admitted due to ascites, which was compounded by spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. 93.60% of patients admitted with CLD had a deranged prothrombin time, while only about a third of patients had elevated aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase. Conclusion:The large burden of ALD highlights the importance of awareness programs at the community level, which have been neglected till date.
