Alcohol liver how to do

First: 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.

Second, promote the degradation of extracellular matrix. It mainly refers to drugs with collagenase activity or promoting collagenase activity. 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.

Third: gene therapy. Gene therapy has been studied in recent years. It has been reported that antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) DNA was used to target 3-t-3 asgr cells with asorpl as carrier. It is concluded that ASOE and ASoC can inhibit most of the mRNA of type I procollagen respectively, which is a good start of gene therapy against fibrosis.
