Severe alcoholic hepatitis: glucocorticoid saves lives and transplantation is promising.

Alain Braillon.   

Abstract

Glucocorticosteroids have been used as the only treatment for a long time which significantly reduced the mortality of the patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis. The efficacy of transplantation has been recently addressed in a pilot study. The result seems promising but needs larger multicenter trials.
