The purpose of this study is to investigate the production, effects and interactions of the hepato-protective cytokine interleukine (IL)-22 in patients with alcoholic hepatitis.
The investigators will study hepatic biopsies from patients with alcoholic hepatitis. In these biopsies, the investigators will assess the production of IL-22 and which cells produce the cytokine. The investigators will study the expression of the IL-22 receptor and also the production of the IL-22 binding protein, which can inhibit the actions of the cytokine.
