How is alcoholic liver disease treated?

Patient's question:

I worked in a company and often went in for beer and banquets, which ruined my entire body. Now my immunity is much worse than before, especially when the seasons change, I easily catch colds. This time, my cold hasn't gone away, and after a check-up, I was also diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease. It's really troublesome.

Doctor's answer:

Alcoholic liver disease is a liver injury condition caused by long-term heavy alcohol consumption, and its consequences are very serious. The treatment of alcoholic liver disease must first involve abstinence from alcohol. After complete abstinence for 2 to 4 weeks, most alcoholic liver disease patients can show significant improvements in histology and liver function, even normalization. For alcoholic liver disease patients with alcoholism and alcohol dependence, in addition to personal willpower, medication can be additionally used for treatment to help them quit drinking as soon as possible. The daily treatment of alcoholic liver disease is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, coordinate with various vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods. It is hoped that alcoholic liver disease patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
