Alcohol and Liver Disease

Alcohol · obesity and liver disease
Alcoholic liver injury is a hepatic disorder caused by more than 3 consecutive drinking a day, various diseases appear. It develops when abdominal pain, fever, jaundice becomes severe, but it is a disease that has many opportunities to be found by elevation of liver function (AST, ALT, γ-GTP) in health examination etc. Allergic vulnerable people (aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 activity deficient) or women may experience alcoholic liver damage even at about 2 times a day.


Obesity also causes fat deposits in the liver, and as it is often heard, it shows the state of fatty liver. Alcoholic liver injury also presents the pathology of alcoholic fatty liver in the early stages. Diagnosis is possible by abdominal ultrasonography and blood test at this time. Also at this time, abstinence will improve ultrasonic findings and abnormal values ​​of blood test promptly.

 Alcoholic liver damage also remains unchanged, as alcohol consumption increases, ballooning of hepatocytes takes place, and if you can not drink alcohol you will be transferred to liver cirrhosis. Serious conditions such as hepatic encephalopathy, gastrointestinal bleeding, acute renal failure and other serious conditions are caused.

 If more than 3 consecutive habitual drinking or more than 5 consecutive drinks continue, fibrosis occurs in the liver and progresses from alcoholic liver fibrosis to alcoholic cirrhosis. When liver cirrhosis develops, jaundice, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy etc. appear, and the quality of life (QOL) declines.

 Basis of treatment is abstinence, other therapies are ancillary to the last, not very effective. To abstain from alcohol is very difficult and requires a solid determination of the person and warm watchful observation of the surroundings. For regular drinkers, it is necessary to increase opportunities to save and make efforts to reduce as much as 3 days a day as much as possible.

 Obesity, along with alcohol, is not very good for the liver. When triglyceride accumulates in hepatocytes, if it accumulates in more than 1/3 of the liver, it becomes a pathology of fatty liver. In ultrasonography, fat deposited in hepatocytes is depicted as a high echo and looks brighter white than the kidneys (bright liver).

 As fatty liver also progresses, it progresses from steatohepatitis to liver cirrhosis, so it can not be tolerated. Fatty liver is reversible, can be improved by abstinence, weight loss and exercise.

Although weight reduction, diet therapy, restriction of alcohol, etc. are all serious, it is more important than ever to strive hard. Since obesity and alcohol have synergistic effects, if one improves, the other will also improve, so it is considered a secret of success to achieve the goal with family and friends.
