Prevention and harm of alcoholic liver disease

summary

Because I have been drinking for a long time, although I don't drink a lot, I still suffer from alcoholic liver disease, which is mild. I see many drinkers also suffer from this disease. Usually we don't feel uncomfortable, so we don't want to treat it. Now I'm trying to give up drinking. Let's talk about the prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease.

Prevention and harm of alcoholic liver disease

First of all: Patients with alcoholic fatty liver need good nutritional support, should provide high protein, low-fat diet on the basis of abstinence, and pay attention to supplement vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin K and folic acid. Abstinence is the most important measure in the treatment of alcoholic fatty liver disease. Attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of abstinence syndrome in the process of abstinence.

Secondly, the serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase or glutamine aminotransferase were slightly increased, so drug treatment should be considered.

Finally, clofibrate can reduce the synthesis of triglyceride and oxidize long-chain fatty acids by enzyme induction. Hepatobiliary energy: a compound preparation composed of p-methylbenzyl alcohol and nicotinate-5 α naphthylacetic acid. Its function is to promote bile secretion, protect liver, anti inflammation, and inhibit the destruction of liver cells in alcoholism. The side effects were mild, and a few patients had mild diarrhea.

matters needing attention

Alcoholic fatty liver can completely recover in 3-6 weeks after abstinence. The prognosis of alcoholic hepatitis is poor, especially the mortality of severe patients is very high. The survivors can develop alcoholic cirrhosis. If we insist on abstinence, the prognosis of alcoholic cirrhosis is better than other causes of cirrhosis.
