SALVE
Study of Alcohol-Related Liver Disease in Europe
A multi-centre European research consortium advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of alcohol-related liver disease.
About the Consortium
Advancing liver disease research across Europe
SALVE (Study of Alcohol-Related Liver Disease in Europe) is a multi-centre research consortium uniting leading hepatologists, pathologists, and clinical researchers from across Europe. Our collaborative network spans seven countries and brings together expertise from major university hospitals and research centres.
Our mission is to improve outcomes for patients with alcohol-related liver disease through collaborative research into natural history, pathogenesis, biomarker development, and novel therapeutic approaches. By pooling clinical data and expertise across borders, we aim to accelerate discoveries that translate into better patient care.
SALVE members contribute to landmark studies in hepatology, publishing in top-tier journals and shaping clinical guidelines across the continent. Our work encompasses the full spectrum of alcohol-related liver disease, from early detection and risk stratification to advanced cirrhosis management and liver transplantation.
Collaborative Research
Multi-centre studies pooling clinical data from leading institutions across seven European countries.
Clinical Innovation
Developing novel biomarkers, treatment strategies, and cost-effective referral pathways.
Knowledge Translation
Turning research findings into clinical guidelines and improved patient outcomes.
