When you drink alcohol, the liver breaks it out. During this time some toxic substances are made, which damage the liver. If you drink more alcohol every day, then this loss increases.

Drinking too much alcohol causes a disease, which is called Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (Arld). It grows in three stages. Fatty liver (fat in liver), alcoholic hepatitis (inflammation in the liver) and cirrhosis (strict liver strict).

The first stage is fatty liver. In this, fat accumulates in the liver. It can also be done by drinking heavy alcohol for a few weeks. The good thing is that if you leave alcohol in time, the liver can be cured again.

The second stage is alcoholic hepatitis. It causes inflammation in the liver. Its symptoms are fatigue, vomiting, loss of appetite and yellow skin (jaundice). If there is no treatment on time, it can be fatal.

The third stage is cirrhosis. In this, the liver gets very bad and strict tissue is made in its place. Liver is not cured in this stage. Many times liver transplant is the last treatment.

If you see these symptoms, see a doctor immediately. Do not ignore the symptoms of eye and skin yellow, swelling or pain in the stomach, loss of appetite, weight, red palms red, excess fatigue etc.

The easiest way to save the liver is to reduce or leave alcohol. If there is a problem in the liver, then do not drink alcohol at all. Keep getting health checkups from time to time, so that the disease can be detected quickly.
