Patient's question:
Since last month, I've been feeling nauseous and vomiting, with poor appetite and extreme fatigue. I drank a lot of beer last month because it was a work requirement to entertain clients. The doctor diagnosed me with alcoholic liver disease. Although I used to drink, I didn't drink much before; it was just a bit more last month.Doctor's answer:
Alcoholic liver disease is a liver injury condition caused by long-term heavy drinking (alcoholism). Alcoholic fatty liver patients often suffer from insufficient protein calories and multiple vitamin deficiencies, so alcoholic liver disease patients need to consume a diet high in energy, high in protein, and rich in vitamins to correct coexisting malnutrition. Strictly restrict fat intake. For those who cannot abstain from alcohol, they should increase the excessive intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as deep-sea fish oil. Avoid continuously exacerbating alcoholic liver damage. For severe alcoholic liver disease patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and receive immediate treatment based on the doctor's advice. Do not blindly use medication to avoid worsening the condition.
