Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ArLD) develops when regular alcohol intake damages the liver over time. You do not need to be dependent on alcohol to develop it—drinking above recommended limits can increase your risk.
At Leaders in Liver Health, our consultants diagnose and manage all stages of ArLD, from early fatty liver changes to cirrhosis.
We offer FibroScan® assessment, blood tests, and personalised treatment plans combining medical care and lifestyle support.
Our clinic provides expert management, helping you restore and protect your liver health.
Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ArLD) refers to the liver inflammation and damage caused by drinking more alcohol than your liver can process safely. Your liver breaks down alcohol, but excessive drinking leads to toxic by-products that injure liver cells.
There are three main stages of ArLD:
Early detection is vital. Liver enzymes (blood tests) may be normal even in people with liver scarring. In addition, even if you feel well, ongoing alcohol exposure can silently damage your liver over years.
ArLD often develops quietly, showing few or no early signs. Symptoms typically appear once significant liver damage has occurred.
If you regularly drink alcohol or experience persistent fatigue, loss of appetite, or jaundice, book a liver assessment. Early lifestyle changes can prevent irreversible damage.
Our team provides advanced liver testing using the latest non-invasive technology.

Our care model supports your journey from diagnosis to recovery:
This structured approach combines medical science with lifestyle support to achieve lasting recovery.
Yes. In the early stages, stopping alcohol completely allows the liver to repair itself. Cirrhosis is not reversible, but damage progression can stop.
Regularly drinking more than 14 units per week increases your risk. The safest level for your liver is zero.
It varies by person. Years of heavy drinking typically cause ALD, but binge drinking over short periods can trigger hepatitis.
Yes. Even small amounts can worsen liver inflammation once damage has started.
Medications can reduce inflammation and manage complications, but recovery relies on full abstinence and lifestyle support.
After diagnosis, check-ups every 6–12 months help track recovery and prevent complications.
If you drink regularly or have been diagnosed with ALD, early action can protect your liver and your life.
