Patient's question:
Dad can't live without alcohol; he drinks with every meal. If he doesn't drink during a meal, he has no energy to work. Yesterday, I took Dad for a full-body check-up. We found that he has alcoholic liver disease. Why would he develop alcoholic liver disease when he's usually fine? What are the symptoms of alcoholic liver disease?Doctor's answer:
For alcoholic liver disease patients, if the condition is relatively mild and there is no damage to liver function, the patient usually does not exhibit any abnormal symptoms. If liver function damage reappears, the patient may show symptoms such as a reduced appetite, yellowing of the skin, or aversion to greasy food. The condition can be confirmed through ultrasound examinations and detailed liver function tests.
