Methods 1. Treatment of alcoholic liver with steroids. Alcoholic liver is due to excessive acetaldehyde increased the burden of liver metabolism, resulting in liver injury. Hormone can inhibit the immune damage caused by acetaldehyde and improve the short-term survival rate of severe alcoholic hepatitis. The short-term use of hormone can significantly reduce the mortality. But not all patients with alcoholic liver disease can take hormone drugs, such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding, acute infection, diabetes and so on, these patients can not take hormone drugs.

This is based on the principle that promoting collagen degradation may reverse the formation of liver fibrosis and develop drugs to promote collagenase activity. At present, the drugs developed include phorbol, cytochalasin B, PDGF and tumor necrosis factor, which can increase or promote the production and synthesis of collagenase.
