The present results indicated that autoantibodies against several distinct types of protein modifications are generated in ALD patients showing an association with the severity of liver disease.

Current data indicate that acetaldehyde generates immunogenic adducts with lipoproteins in vivo. Antibodies raised against the VLDL/acetaldehyde may provide a basis for new diagnostic assays to examine excessive alcohol consumption.
