Alcoholic liver disease, resulting from chronic alcohol use, includes conditions like fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and cirrhosis. This study assessed TNF-alpha and leptin levels in 45 alcoholic liver disease patients, explored their relationship, and examined the rs1137101 polymorphism in the leptin receptor gene. Participants (mean age 40.13 +/- 10.36) had consumed alcohol for an average of 15.31 +/- 9.49 years at a daily intake of 253.33 +/- 118.25 mL. TNF-alpha increased with age, while no age-leptin correlation was observed. TNF-alpha and leptin showed a negative correlation. The study identified a 48% minor allele G frequency for rs1137101. The findings highlight a significant correlation between TNF-alpha and leptin levels in alcoholic liver disease, suggesting potential roles as inflammatory mediators. More prospective studies are needed to enhance our understanding of these factors and improve disease management, potentially reducing morbidity and mortality rates.
