Liver cirrhosis was not found by needle biopsy in 28 consecutive alcoholic men of "skid-row" type, but 14 had fatty degeneration and 14 had normal histology of the liver. Low serum albumin was the most consistent finding. There was no correlation between the laboratory tests of liver function and the degree of fatty degeneration.
