Abstract :
Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD) is a significant global health concern, often complicated by comorbid conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Hypertension (HTN). These metabolic disorders exacerbate liver damage, leading to increased inflammation, fibrosis and cirrhosis, and complicate the clinical management of ALD. This paper explores the interrelationship between ALD, T2DM and HTN, highlighting the role of insulin resistance, hypertension-induced portal pressure and metabolic disturbances in accelerating liver dysfunction. Non-invasive diagnostic tools like elastography and novel pharmacological treatments, including SGLT2 inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, show promise in managing both diabetes and liver fibrosis. Ayurvedic medicine offers a holistic approach to managing ALD and its comorbidities, emphasizing the restoration of Doshic balance, detoxification and metabolic harmony. Case management is exemplified by a 53-year-old male patient with ALD, T2DM and HTN, treated using therapies, Panchkarma including, herbal formulations and lifestyle modifications. This Ayurvedic approach aims at not only treating symptoms but also addressing the root causes of these chronic conditions, improving overall liver health and quality of life. The combination of conventional and Ayurvedic strategies offers a comprehensive treatment model for managing ALD in the presence of T2DM and HTN.
