Patient's question:
My husband often drinks beer. Recently, he has had symptoms similar to a cold. He went to the hospital for a blood test, which revealed elevated ALT levels. I didn't look at the specific results, but his ALT was over 180. Other blood lipids, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels were slightly high as well. The doctor diagnosed him with alcoholic liver disease because he has high blood pressure and takes medication for it daily. His blood pressure hasn't been under control recently, even while taking his medication. He's been running a fever of 100°F with a blood pressure of 150/100. It's really worrying. How serious is his condition?Doctor's answer:
Alcoholic liver disease is a liver injury condition caused by long-term excessive alcohol consumption (alcoholism). This type of alcoholic liver disease requires caution to prevent the development of cirrhosis. Active treatment is essential, and liver-protecting tablets can be taken, which have the effects of protecting the liver, reducing enzyme levels, stabilizing liver function, enhancing the liver's detoxification ability, repairing liver cell damage, inhibiting fibrosis and fat degeneration, and reducing the body's autoimmune response. These tablets also provide comprehensive liver treatment, aid in alcohol protection, effectively promote the decomposition and metabolism of alcohol (alcohol toxicity), and offer excellent effects in reducing hangover and protecting the liver. Alcoholic liver disease has a significant impact on patients, and once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
