Patient's question:
Will alcoholic liver disease be contagious? Will alcoholic liver disease be contagious? How should alcoholic liver disease be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. Alcoholic liver disease is not a contagious illness and can absolutely not be contracted! It is a liver injury disease caused by long-term and excessive alcohol consumption (alcoholism). Treatment must first involve abstaining from alcohol. Active and successful abstinence is the most effective measure for the comprehensive prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease. Treatment should be determined based on clinical diagnosis and symptoms to decide on additional medication. Generally, in the early or mild stages of alcoholic liver disease, in addition to abstaining from alcohol, many liver-protecting drugs and cross-linked vitamins can be used. In fact, having alcoholic liver disease is not terrifying. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treatment is administered accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
