During my internship in the hospital, I learned a lot of medical knowledge, among which I came into contact with many patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, so I still have a certain understanding of alcoholic cirrhosis for a long time. Now let me talk about the consequences of alcoholic cirrhosis.

What are the consequences of alcoholic cirrhosis

First, short-term or one-time heavy drinking can cause acute alcoholism. The most common injury site of long-term heavy drinking (several months or years) is liver. Excessive drinking or taking too much alcohol can lead to central nervous excitation or inhibition, which is called acute alcoholism.

Second: the harm of alcohol to the liver will continue to aggravate and upgrade with the increase of the amount and drinking time. There are three stages of liver damage. The first stage of liver damage is alcoholic fatty liver. The more alcohol consumption, the longer the time, the more serious the fatty liver. Daily drinking is more harmful than intermittent drinking, and a large amount of drinking is more harmful than a small amount of drinking in a day.

Third: at the same time, nearly 60% of the long-term alcoholics and alcoholics will develop alcoholic liver and fatty liver. Inflammation will aggravate the damage to the liver, and serious cases will lead to alcoholic liver cirrhosis. When the liver cirrhosis develops, if scientific treatment is not added to control the development of the disease, it is likely to develop into liver cancer. Therefore, we should control the amount of alcohol and the degree of alcohol we drink, and try to drink alcohol with low degree and less harm to human liver, so as to effectively prevent the occurrence of alcoholic cirrhosis.

To sum up, we also recognize the harm of alcohol induced liver cirrhosis. We should pay attention to develop good living habits and not drink too much alcohol. In addition, if we feel that our body is different, we should go to the hospital actively for treatment to control the disease.
