Patient's question:
I have had hepatitis B for several years. I don't know what's going on, I've taken a variety of medications to suppress the condition, but now the area of my liver is still hardened. I want to know if it's because of the red wine I drink regularly or if it's due to lack of sleep.Doctor's answer:
Patients with liver diseases must pay attention not to drink beer: Alcohol poisoning is one of the common causes of disease in medicine. Long-term heavy drinking can lead to the recurrence of alcoholic gastritis. If patients neglect treatment or fail to seek treatment, it may result in alcoholic cirrhosis. Additionally, drinking can cause upper abdominal discomfort, reduce appetite, and lead to a deficiency of proteins and vitamin B complex in the body. Alcohol also has a direct toxic effect on liver cells, so alcoholic beverages are foods that cirrhosis patients should avoid.
