Patient's question:
Does alcoholic liver disease be inherited? I wonder if alcoholic liver disease is hereditary, because we are planning to have a child, but my husband has alcoholic liver disease. His health is quite good, and he hasn't been treated for it. I want to ask if it can be passed on to the child.Doctor's answer:
Alcoholic liver disease is a liver injury disease caused by long-term and excessive alcohol consumption. Suggestions: Abstaining from alcohol is the most important measure for treating alcoholic liver disease. Alcoholic liver disease is not hereditary, so there is no need to worry too much! If you want to have children, you should abstain from alcohol for more than three months to ensure the quality of sperm!
