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 advised me to get injections. How should I treat alcoholic liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Alcoholic liver disease is not a type of illness itself; it is merely caused by prolonged beer consumption, leading to inflammation or structural changes in the liver. If treatment is needed, symptomatic treatment should be administered. For example, if there is hepatitis, anti-inflammatory treatment should be implemented. If there is fatty liver, dietary management targeting fatty liver should be adopted.
