Deaths from alcohol-related liver disease tragically continue to increase in the United Kingdom. Liver transplant remains a curative option but only to a select cohort, requiring a minimum period of 3 months of abstinence. The group of those who have the highest morbidity and mortality are those admitted due to decompensation and alcohol-related hepatitis, and therefore the first three months post-discharge is critical. In this podcast, together with an expert panel, we explore the East Anglian perspective, addressing variations in access to alcohol care teams, approaches to maintain abstinence, post-discharge follow up and which patients to refer for transplantation.   Read the paper: Three critical months for patients with decompensated alcohol-related cirrhosis   Dr Kohilan Gananandan (Trainee Editor at FG and Hepatology Registrar at Royal London Hospital) and Dr James Maurice (Associate Editor at FG and Consultant Hepatologist at Southmead Hospital) interview Dr Christopher Oldroyd (Hepatology Registrar at Cambridge University Hospitals) and Dr Michael Allison (Consultant Hepatologist at Cambridge University Hospitals).    We hope you enjoy the #FGPodcast.

Historically patients with alcohol-related liver disease have received poor quality of care during their admission. In 2014, a guidance bundle was released by the the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) and British Association for the Study of the Liver (BASL) to address this issue.
