Patient's question:
Brother has been drinking beer for a long time and attends many banquets, so his health has always been poor. Moreover, he was born with chronic hepatitis B (HBV genotype A). Drinking beer like this is just playing with his own life. Recently, his health has deteriorated significantly. He often feels extremely weak and has lost his appetite. Even eating a small amount of food makes him feel nauseous and like vomiting. His condition is alcoholic liver disease.Doctor's answer:
Early in alcoholic liver disease, there may be no obvious symptoms, but the liver has already undergone significant pathological changes. Patients with alcoholic liver disease often have a history of heavy drinking in the short term before the onset of the disease. After developing alcoholic liver disease, they may experience significant weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, general fatigue and weakness, fever, abdominal pain, and nausea and vomiting. Alcoholic liver disease can have a significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on light and simple foods. It is hoped that alcoholic liver disease patients can receive professional treatment.
