It is common medical knowledge that drinking alcohol harms the liver, even if it is only a small amount. However, a paper published in the journal Hepatology pointed out that wine may be an exception. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, found that people who drank only 65,438+0 glasses of wine every day (whether white wine or red wine) had only a 0.4% increase in transaminase. This seems to show that moderate drinking of wine has a preventive effect on the most common liver disease in the United States (fatty liver caused by non-alcohol). Whether you can drink it or not, it is worth noting that in China, hepatitis B and alcoholic cirrhosis account for the vast majority of liver diseases. For these patients, no alcoholic drinks are recommended. For patients with liver disease, no matter the type and amount of alcohol consumed, the main component of alcohol is very harmful to the liver. Long-term drinking in patients with fatty liver will lead to fatty degree and liver damage, and can also induce alcoholic hepatitis and even cirrhosis, which will be very unfavorable to the treatment and prognosis of the disease. Therefore, the main components of fatty liver patients, whether liquor, beer or wine, all contain alcohol that accelerates liver injury. Therefore, abstinence is the best choice for the liver. Patients with fatty liver had better not drink alcohol. At the same time, they must control drinking, and staying away from alcohol will be the key link for the recovery and prognosis of liver and fatty liver.
