Patient's question:
My father is 65 years old this year. Elderly people dislike drinking beer, so for ten years, he has had three meals a day and three drinks a day. His health condition has never been very good, and he always complains of stomach pain. Yesterday, he had a thorough check-up at the hospital and was diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease. I would like to consult about what precautions are needed for alcoholic liver disease in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Alcoholics with alcoholic liver disease should first abstain from alcohol. Alcoholic liver disease often involves insufficient protein and calorie intake and a deficiency of various vitamins. Therefore, patients with alcoholic liver disease need to consume a diet high in energy, protein, and vitamins, while also getting adequate rest. It is necessary to take liver-protecting medications. The impact of alcoholic liver disease on patients is significant. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods. It is hoped that patients with alcoholic liver disease can receive professional treatment.
