What is alcoholic liver like

First: alcoholic fatty liver disease is a liver disease caused by long-term heavy drinking, which is a subtype of alcoholic liver disease. Patients have a long history of drinking, generally more than 5 years. The clinical symptoms were nonspecific, asymptomatic, or right upper abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss, etc.

Second, the clinical manifestation of alcoholic fatty liver is directly proportional to the degree of liver fat infiltration, and the symptoms can disappear after the excessive fat in the liver is removed. Clinically, hepatomegaly is the most common sign, followed by liver pain and tenderness. A small number of patients may have mild jaundice, which is related to biliary obstruction. Severe patients may have ascites and lower extremity edema, occasionally splenomegaly.

Third: some patients can be accompanied by vitamin deficiency, such as peripheral neuritis, glossitis, angular stomatitis, skin ecchymosis, etc. In conclusion, alcoholic fatty liver disease lacks specific clinical symptoms. The most common biochemical abnormality was the change of total plasma protein and the inversion of the ratio of white globulin. After the recovery of fatty liver, the abnormal plasma protein recovered later than other indexes, and returned to normal after 3-6 months.
