How to correctly treat alcoholic fatty liver

If you want to effectively treat alcoholic fatty liver, the first thing you need to do is to quit drinking, because quitting drinking is the fundamental way to prevent blocking syndrome. You should also pay attention to nutritional supplements, and you can use drugs such as serum alanine aminotransferase for drug treatment.

1. Stop drinking

Quitting drinking is the most important measure to treat alcoholic fatty liver disease, and attention should be paid to preventing and treating withdrawal syndrome during the process of quitting drinking.

2. Nutritional support

Patients with alcoholic fatty liver need good nutritional support. They should be provided with a high-protein, low-fat diet on the basis of abstinence from alcohol, and pay attention to supplementing vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin K and folic acid.

3. Medication

If serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is slightly elevated, drug treatment may be considered. S-adenosylmethionine treatment can improve the clinical symptoms and biochemical indicators of patients with alcoholic fatty liver; polyene phosphatidylcholine has a tendency to prevent histological deterioration in patients with alcoholic fatty liver; drugs such as glycyrrhizic acid preparations, silymarin, polyene phosphatidylcholine and reduced glutathione have different degrees of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and protective effects on liver cell membranes and organelles, and their clinical application can improve liver biochemical indicators.

Prognosis

Most patients with alcoholic fatty liver have a good prognosis. Generally, after quitting drinking and undergoing treatment for about one month, the fat in the liver will decrease. In mild cases, the fat will disappear after a few months, and in severe cases, it will disappear after one to two years.
