Patient's question:
I have an uncle who, upon investigation, drinks beer and smokes. No matter how much we try to persuade him at home, he doesn't listen. He never listens to my father either and is still focused on drinking and smoking. Now, when he says he doesn't feel well, the family sends him to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The thorough check-up revealed hepatitis. Hello, can hepatitis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Frequent drinking of beer and smoking can lead to this hepatitis, which is highly likely to be alcoholic liver disease. It can be diagnosed through careful liver function tests and liver ultrasound. In addition to lifestyle changes, medication can be used to correct the condition. For example, the first step is to quit smoking and drinking beer. The second step is to avoid fatigue and staying up late, which can help restore glutathione. Combining it with vitamins B and C can protect the liver, and liver-protecting tablets can also be used. It can control the treatment, but it cannot be said to completely cure it.
