Background: Chronic liver diseases (CLD) cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Known detrimental effects of alcohol consumption and its strong association with liver cirrhosis mortality have led to national and international policy responses to curtail alcohol consumption. Hence; we planned the present study to evaluate the etiologic profile of liver cirrhosis. Materials & methods: The present study w included evaluation of etiologic profile of liver cirrhosis patients. Ethical approval was obtained from the ethical committee of the institution. A total of 30 liver cirrhosis patients reporting to the department of general medicine were included in the present study. Etiologic profile of liver cirrhosis of all the patients was obtained and recorded on Microsoft excel sheet.  Results: Out of 30 liver cirrhosis patients, 18 were males and the remaining 12 were females. Alcohol was the most common etiologic factor for occurrence of liver cirrhosis in the present study, found to be present in 50 percent of the patient population. Other etiologic factors included NASH and hepatitis C. Conclusion: Liver cirrhosis is a common liver pathology with alcohol being the most common cause. 
Key words: Alcohol, Hepatitis, Liver cirrhosis
