Core Tip	The diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) can be challenging and in most cases, the diagnosis will be established by thorough history, clinical and laboratory findings. However, in uncertain situations, it can be supported by imaging and liver biopsy results. Histological features of ALD can ultimately define the diagnosis according to the typical presence and distribution of hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and Mallory-Denk bodies. Clinical and laboratory parameters can help with establishing the prognosis of ALD in more advanced and severe cases and with determining the therapeutic approach.
