Morphofunctional Aspects of Internal Organs in Chronic Alcoholism

Abstract

It has been established that in the structure of mortality in recent years, death from chronic alcoholism and acute alcohol intoxication, as well as associated complications, occupies a leading position, second only to mortality from cardiovascular pathologies and malignant neoplasms. For all the apparent simplicity of identifying people suffering from alcohol addiction and the corresponding chronic alcohol intoxication, it is the design and formulation of the official part of the diagnosis that is associated with a number of features that slow down statistical work and sometimes distort its work. However, the monotony and stereotyping of lesions of internal organs in persons with chronic alcohol intoxication allows us to identify a number of pathomorphological signs reflecting chronic alcoholism, which dictates the need to distinguish between the pathology of internal organs, which forms the main and immediate causes of death, and pathology, which is a reflection of the toxic effects of eubiotic, coupled with the underlying disease, not related to alcohol.
