“National Liver Day” is in China’s hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcoholic liver disease and other liver diseases, the incidence rate is rising year by year, the people’s health is facing a serious threat to the background, in order to mobilize the whole society to widely carry out the prevention of liver disease science and technology knowledge, to protect the health of the people, by the National People’s Congress, the Ministry of Health in 2001 proposed and set up, the time is scheduled for March 18 every year. The time is set on March 18 every year. March 18 this year is the 13th “National Liver Day”, the theme of the publicity is: “For the love of liver, we quit drinking for a day”. In recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standards and changes in lifestyle, the global consumption of alcohol has soared, and the incidence of alcoholic liver disease has risen sharply, and it has jumped to become the first category of liver disease in developed countries in the West, and the incidence of alcoholic liver due to the consumption of alcohol in our country has been on a clear upward trend, and it has become a hidden killer which can not be ignored, and it has become a hidden killer in modern society. In modern society, alcohol is closely related to people’s life and work. No wine is not a seat, a drunk is a party, has become an unwritten way of hospitality. Drinking with a close friend, love and meaning cha, but such as drinking without degrees, or long-term addiction to alcohol, will probably develop into alcoholic liver disease. The Materia Medica Compendium” on the wine record is: “less drink and blood, more drink is to kill a moment.” The author found in the clinic that some patients with alcoholic liver disease have many misunderstandings about the disease and the treatment process, due to the lack of understanding led to the patients to establish a correct view of the disease and effective intervention, resulting in the disease progression to decompensated cirrhosis, or even hepatocellular carcinoma, and the loss of therapeutic opportunities. Therefore, on the occasion of the 13th “National Liver Day”, we will explain the knowledge of alcoholic liver disease and the misconceptions of some patients. First, the correct understanding of alcoholic liver disease. The cause of alcoholic liver disease is alcoholism, because alcohol is mainly metabolized by the liver, in the process of metabolism, its metabolic intermediates can damage the liver, causing damage to liver function, causing alcoholic hepatitis; at the same time, it also causes the deposition of lipids in the liver, the formation of alcoholic fatty liver; long-term excessive alcohol consumption can aggravate the burden on the liver so that liver cells are damaged by denaturation, necrosis, and fibrous tissue hyperplasia during the process of repair, the formation of liver fibrosis. Fibrosis; if you continue to drink, liver fibrosis will further develop, eventually leading to the formation of cirrhosis, this successive pathological stages, medical collectively referred to as “alcoholic liver disease”. Therefore, we should always keep in mind that the cause of alcoholic liver disease is alcoholism, from alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic liver fibrosis, to alcoholic cirrhosis, is a gradual development process, in most cases, people do not know that they are suffering from alcoholic liver disease, and wait until symptoms such as pain in the liver area, general weakness, indigestion, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, bloating and diarrhea, etc., and then go to the hospital for examination. Liver function abnormalities, such as transaminases, transpeptidase elevated, this is already alcoholic hepatitis, if not timely quit drinking and treatment, it is easy to develop into alcoholic liver fibrosis and alcoholic cirrhosis, or even liver cancer, resulting in irreversible harm, so for the long-term alcoholics, it is recommended that regular review of liver function, liver ultrasound and other related tests, timely detection of the first signs of disease. Secondly, quitting drinking is the most effective means of preventing and treating alcoholic liver disease. Alcoholic liver disease is the culprit of alcoholism, therefore, it goes without saying that abstinence from alcohol is the most effective measure to prevent and control alcoholic liver disease, alcohol has a strong toxicity to liver cells, 95% of alcohol directly affects the metabolism of protein and fat function, if you can’t strictly abstain from alcohol, the treatment of injuries, then the therapeutic effect of alcoholic liver disease will be greatly reduced. It is especially important to remind that for patients with chronic liver disease, especially hepatitis B, hepatitis C patients, alcoholism is the catalyst for the development of end-stage liver disease, for this type of patients should be absolutely restrictive alcohol consumption. In addition, for patients with alcoholic liver disease, combining work and rest, appropriate exercise, living and living in order, and reasonable diet are also effective means to promote recovery. Finally, maintaining a pleasant mood and positive attitude towards life, establishing confidence in overcoming the disease, and perseverance are also powerful guarantees for the prevention and treatment of the disease. Early treatment is a necessary way to reverse the progress of the disease. Many people have this misunderstanding: alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, no pain, no itch, no physical discomfort, there is no need for treatment. In fact, this stage is the best stage of treatment, but also the most likely to be ignored in the dangerous stage, the development of alcoholic liver disease is a subtle, quiet process, such as early detection, early treatment, alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and even part of the alcoholic liver fibrosis, in the withdrawal of alcohol at the same time, through the regular way of treatment, combined with lifestyle changes, seven to eighty percent of the cured. If mild fatty liver is not found in time, and get control, liver cell fat accumulation further increase, resulting in part of the liver cells began to be destroyed, liver function is affected, transaminases began to rise, such as do not pay attention to, continue to drink, day by day, when the development of cirrhosis, liver cancer will be regretted when it is too late.
