Patient's question:
Can alcoholic liver disease progress to hepatic fibrosis? What are the early symptoms of hepatic fibrosis?Doctor's answer:
Alcoholic hepatitis can cause liver cell damage, and after the damage, fibrous tissue repairs it, which may lead to the recurrence of liver fibrosis, potentially resulting in cirrhosis. In the early stages of cirrhosis, if liver function is within the compensatory range, there may be no symptoms, or only a decrease in transaminase levels or fatigue, loss of appetite, and other symptoms. Liver disease is a condition that is difficult to resolve. Friends with this disease should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating liver disease and believe that recovery is certain.
