One in 10 patients with alcoholic liver disease may develop liver fibrosis, and 1.5-8% of patients with alcoholic liver disease may develop cirrhosis. There are no specific signs and symptoms in the early stage of alcoholic liver, but as the disease continues to develop, alcoholic hepatitis, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis will appear. The people have a saying that “people who drink with a red face do not hurt their liver, but those who drink with a white face hurt their liver”, which is a big misconception. This is a big misconception. The change in color of the face when drinking alcohol is not the same as the body’s tolerance to alcohol and metabolic ability, and people at risk for alcoholic liver should not “look at the face and drink”. Because of the insidious onset of alcoholic liver, many alcoholic liver patients tend to rely only on health care products to “detoxify and protect the liver”, ignoring the damage caused by alcohol to the liver delayed treatment. 1, after drinking blushing liver damage is serious. Drinking blushing, medically known as flushing, represents more ethanol dehydrogenase in the body, less acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, making the main component of alcohol ethanol into acetaldehyde very fast, while the liver needs to provide a large number of P450 enzymes to convert them into acetic acid. Drinking too much alcohol and consuming more liver P450 enzymes can cause great damage to the body, especially for people who suffer from liver diseases themselves, which can cause aggravation or attack of the disease. 2, the study found: drinking on the face of people with blocked metabolism From a medical point of view, ‘drinking on the face of people who can drink more’ is wrong! Any food entering the body is digested and metabolized. Alcohol metabolism mainly relies on acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) in the liver. People who drink a lot of alcohol have relatively enough acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 in their bodies. The red face of the drinker, indicating that the liver of the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 less, alcohol metabolism will therefore slow down, blocked, the body of alcohol to stimulate vasodilation, resulting in the face, and other parts of the body skin red (such as the neck), in addition to a rapid heartbeat, nausea and other symptoms of intoxication. 3, after drinking face white people should not drink in excess People usually think: “drinking face red people with small alcohol consumption, drinking face white people with large alcohol consumption, can drink.” In fact, this is wrong. After drinking face white people, the body of highly active ethanol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase less, mainly by the liver in the P450 enzyme slowly oxidation, rely on body fluids to dilute alcohol. A large amount of alcohol consumption at one time is prone to coma, while acute alcohol poisoning occurs. Drinking alcohol increases the burden on the liver, and at the same time, the heart beats faster and the burden is increasing. In order to provide enough blood to the main organs, certain people show up with a white face. In fact, this is a signal for the body to protect itself, or a reaction called. After a person drinks alcohol, 8% of the ethanol is absorbed by the duodenum and jejunum, and the rest is broken down by the liver. However, after excessive alcohol consumption, blood pressure drops. The body, in order to maintain normal blood pressure, constricts the peripheral blood vessels and capillaries, thus protecting the brain and major organs. This inevitably causes a decrease in blood flow to the peripheral vessels, making the face pale. In this case, if you think you have a large amount and continue to drink, it is like pouring oil on the fire, adding insult to injury, it is easy to hurt the body. The size of a person’s alcohol consumption depends mainly on the amount and activity of ethanol dehydrogenase secreted by the liver. The red and white face is never a sign of being able to drink or not. It seems that the statement that people who drink with a white face can drink is not based on science and is also very harmful. Therefore, people who drink with a white face should be especially cautious when drinking, do not rely on the white face and greedy cup, must maintain their own health. 4, blue face after drinking should not drip wine A few people with a blue face after drinking alcohol absorption within 5-10 minutes, the face feels burning, while the face or body skin flushing, throbbing headache, breathing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, sweating, thirst, chest pain, hypotension, syncope, blurred vision and confusion and other symptoms, medically called “acetaldehyde syndrome”, which is caused by the oxidative metabolism of ethanol significant blood This is due to the significant increase in blood acetaldehyde level caused by the oxidative metabolism of ethanol. Those who are blue after drinking should pay attention to protecting the liver and stay away from alcohol. 5, alcohol misconceptions strong tea solution: “Drinking strong tea can solve alcohol” is the most common view of many people. But in fact, strong tea is not a comprehensive solution. Although the tea polyphenols in strong tea has a certain role in liver protection, but the theophylline in strong tea will make the blood vessels constrict, blood pressure rise, but will aggravate the headache. Drinking vinegar to relieve alcohol: Some people say that drinking vinegar or drinking something sour can relieve alcohol. Originally alcohol is not small to the gastrointestinal mucosa stimulation, if you also drink vinegar or eat acidic food, aggravate the stimulation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, easy to induce gastritis, peptic ulcer and other diseases.
