Will alcoholic liver disease turn into hepatitis B?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am a male, and I am 42 years old. Recently, when I had a thorough physical examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease. I don't really understand this, so I would like to ask you a few questions. Can alcoholic liver disease turn into hepatitis B?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, alcoholic liver disease is a type of liver change caused by drinking beer, while hepatitis B is a type of hepatitis caused by infection with the hepatitis B virus. Alcoholic liver disease will never transform into hepatitis B. The causes of sepsis in the two diseases are completely different. It is necessary to check and provide symptomatic relief in a timely manner according to one's own condition. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the liver function and liver damage are severe.
