Abstract: Objective To analyze the clinical features of inpatients with alcoholic liver diseases（ALD）. Methods Clinical data of inpatients with alcoholic liver diseases in our hospital from 2002 to 2011 were analyzed. Results The ratio of patients with ALD to total inpatients with liver diseases was 1.74% in 2002 and 2.89% in 2006,and it reached to 4.18% in 2011,a 2.4-fold increase in ten years;The percentage of male patients was 97.69%（4278/4379）;Patients diagnosed as alcoholic cirrhosis,ALD（without classification） and mild alcoholic hepatitis accounted for about 70.66%,10.44% and 9.96% of all ALD patients,and only about 4% of patients were diagnosed as severe alcoholic hepatitis or alcoholic liver failure or alcoholic steatosis（P<0.01）;The average age of patients with alcoholic cirrhosis was 49.6 year-old,significantly greater than that in patients with ALD complicated by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease（36.9 year-old,P<0.01）;The recovery rates in patients with mild alcoholic hepatitis and alcoholic steatosis were 80.28% and 91.58%,respectively,significantly higher than that in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis（47.78%,P<0.01）. Conclusions The ratio of ALD inpatients to total inpatients with liver diseases is increasing gradually and more attention should be pay to male patients and patients with mild ALD to prevent disease progress.
