Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. ALD can progress from alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) to alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH), which can eventually lead to cirrhosis and, in some cases, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Alcoholic hepatitis (AH), a severe form of ASH, is an acute clinical decompensation related to liver failure and high mortality. Most individuals consuming >40 g of alcohol per day develop AFL, but only a subset of individuals will have more advanced disease. Genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors might explain the considerable interindividual variation in ALD phenotype. 1 BUrDen OF alCOHOl inTaKe in THe aMeriCan COnTinenT (nOrTH, CenTral anD sOUTH aMeriCa)Worldwide, 3 million people die annually of harmful alcohol consumption. According to the World Health Organization, in the entire American continent, the alcohol intake is classified as high and is constantly increasing. Annual per capita alcohol consumption in individuals older than 15 years is high in the American continent and gradually increases over time

La cirrosis hepática es una condición crónica del hígado que implica la cicatrización del tejido hepático y la disfunción progresiva del hígado. Las intervenciones de enfermería en pacientes con esta afección se centran en el manejo de los síntomas, la prevención de complicaciones y el apoyo emocional y educativo no solamente para el paciente sino también su familia. El presente trabajo presenta algunas de las actuaciones de enfermería en pacientes con cirrosis hepática, algunas fundamentadas en la teoría de Merle Mishel. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura y se consideraron 51 fuentes bibliográficas, incluyendo artículos científicos y páginas web oficiales de organizaciones expertas, con un filtro temporal entre 2017 y 2021. Gran parte del actuar de estos profesionales se centraban en la promoción, prevención, tratamiento y rehabilitación para el bienestar de la persona.
