Patient's question:
Because after a drunkenness, I felt pain in the liver area, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was alcoholic liver disease. Now I have been understanding and treating it, but the effect is not so good. I still don't understand the definition of alcoholic liver disease.Doctor's answer:
Alcoholic liver disease can never be infected. It is the first and most common inflammation in alcoholic liver disease, and it does not have viral hepatitis. Therefore, simple alcoholic liver disease is not infectious. Alcoholic liver disease is caused by long-term excessive drinking in patients. A normal person can metabolize 120g of alcohol in a day. If excessive drinking occurs for a long time, acetaldehyde will accumulate excessively in the liver, leading to fat degeneration, suppuration, and regeneration of liver cells, ultimately resulting in fatty liver.
