Over the past decade, the rise in alcohol use has escalated, resulting in the increased prevalence of alcohol use disorder. The harmful use of alcohol can contribute to the development of alcoholic hepatitis. There is a high risk of mortality associated with alcoholic hepatitis, which has led to a surge in the number of candidates who present for liver transplantation. Over the lastthree years, further observation has found that the number of liver transplants due to alcoholic hepatitis has risen even higher ¿this can be associated with the increased acceptance of early liver transplantation for patients with alcohol-associated liver disease. Several quantitative studies have been done to support the indication for early liver transplant in alcoholic-associatedliver disease patients.
