Patient's question:
My boyfriend had a health check-up, and the test report showed that his liver had some issues, while the rest were normal. After going to the hospital for a follow-up check, they said he had mild alcoholic liver disease. However, my boyfriend doesn't really drink beer, so how could he have alcoholic liver disease? Hello, what are the causes of alcoholic liver disease?Doctor's answer:
The composition of alcoholic liver disease is caused by long-term heavy drinking or short-term excessive drinking leading to liver function damage and purulent changes in liver cells. It is also related to the body's different immune systems. When liver function abnormalities reappear, in addition to using liver-protecting drugs to alleviate the condition, it is also necessary to pay special attention to avoiding beverages containing any alcohol components. Maintain a regular diet, eat appropriately, and increase outdoor exercise to help restore liver function as soon as possible. If not promptly addressed, it may progress to alcoholic cirrhosis and may even lead to liver cancer again, so it is essential to alleviate the condition as early as possible.
