Abstract A Young Male Case with Alcoholic Cirrhosis Complicated, by Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis and was Dead of Multiple Organ Failure Nahoko Okamoto 1, Hiroshi Yotsuyanagi 1, Yoshihiko Nagase 1, Kazuhiko Fujita 1, Takeshi Hayashi 1, Michihiro Suzuki 1, Takehiko Kobayashi 2, Shirou Maeyama 2, Toshiyuki Uchikoshi 2, and Shirou Iino 1 The presented case is a 28-year-old man with a history of alcohol overtake since the age of 18 years. Even after admission for alcoholic hepatitis three years ago, he continued alcohol overtake. He was admitted to our hospital in 1999 complaining of fever, jaundice, and ascites. Laboratory data on admission showed leukocytosis and high levels of transaminases, bilirubin, and γ-gtp. Thrombocytopenia, hyperanmoniemia, and low levels of serum protein were also noted. Abdominal computed tomography revealed irregular-surfaced liver with splenomegaly accompanied by massive ascites. From these findings, we diagnosed him as severe alcoholic hepatitis with liver cirrhosis. In spite of intensive therapy, he suffered from pneumonia, which lead to adult-respiratory-distress syndrome. He died multiple organ failure on the 29th day, after admission. Autopsy disclosed type F liver cirrhosis and congestive lung. Histological examination of the liver showed multiple Mallory-bodies and polymorphic neutrophils in addition to micronodular cirrhosis. He is the youngest Japanese male among reported cases of severe alcoholic hepatitis. (St. Marianna Med.
