Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. Can you please tell me about the treatment for alcoholic liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Alcoholic liver disease, usually caused by long-term heavy drinking, initially manifests as fatty liver, then gradually progresses to alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic fibrosis, and alcoholic cirrhosis. Depending on the severity of liver damage, additional clinical symptoms may appear. The key to treating alcoholic liver disease is abstinence from alcohol, and metformin can also be used to help stabilize alcohol poisoning.
