Symptoms of hepatitis B patients after drinking

Alcohol (commonly known as "alcohol") is the main component in wine. Alcohol is mainly metabolized and detoxified by the liver. After entering the human body, it can increase the burden on the liver, seriously affect the normal function of the liver, cause liver damage and harm health.

Alcohol can also produce a carcinogenic substance acetaldehyde (toxic to hepatocytes) in the process of liver metabolism and detoxification. Under normal circumstances, acetaldehyde can be decomposed into non-toxic substances by aldehyde dehydrogenase in the human body and discharged from the body. However, if the liver function is weak, especially when the content of aldehyde dehydrogenase in the liver is greatly reduced, It can lead to partial acetaldehyde not only can not be completely decomposed, but also directly into the liver, damage liver cells, and then affect the health of the liver.

Alcohol can also effectively inhibit the regeneration and repair function of liver cells after entering the human body, and then induce pathological changes such as degeneration and necrosis of liver cells, and promote the occurrence of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
