Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Recently, the option of a reduced drinking setting (harm reduction) has been presented as an intermediate goal for patients who need to abstain from alcohol, and nalmefene was approved as a drinking reduction drug in January 2019. There are few reports that have comprehensively investigated the effects of nalmefene in alcoholic patients with alcoholic liver disease from both central and peripheral organs. In addition, the FRQ of the 3rd edition of the Guidelines for the Treatment of Cirrhosis states that the effect of harm reduction in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis needs to be investigated. In the present study, we will investigate the effects of nalmefene on the treatment of alcohol-related liver disorders, including alcoholic cirrhosis, and the factors associated with these effects.
