In how much time liver ( no cirrhosis) can revive from alcohol induced damage?

---

after the alcohol intake is stopped!
The SGPT and SGOT enzymes very high but no cirhossis.
When you drink alcohol, it is absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach and intestines. All blood from the stomach and intestines first goes through the liver before circulating around the whole body. So, the highest concentration of alcohol is in the blood flowing through the liver.

Liver cells contain enzymes (chemicals) which process (metabolise) alcohol. The enzymes break down alcohol into other chemicals which in turn are then broken down into water and carbon dioxide. These are then passed out in the urine and from the lungs.

The liver cells can metabolise only a certain amount of alcohol per hour. So, if you drink alcohol faster than your liver can deal with it, the level of alcohol in your bloodstream rises.

For all types of liver disease caused by alcohol, you should stop drinking completely. Also, you may be referred to a dietician to review your diet. This is because many people who drink heavily do not eat properly and need advice on getting back into eating a healthy diet. Vitamin supplements may be prescribed for a while.

People who drink alcohol everyday to help them feel better are weak people. You need to take a stand in life and quit these nasty habits. Yoga and meditation is the key to be healthy. Will power is the key. Don't let yourself down by making superficial promises. It was bound to happen.

Rehman Bhai tried answering this question, but yahoo has been acting up. Therefore, he emailed it to me.

"Bhai mian,

Good evening.

First of all not to worry too much !

I would like to add a bit in addition to the excellent stuff Ravii
has written SGPT and SGOT are very sensitive markers for liver
damage, therefore after drinking they will be elevated. These markers
are now known as AST and ALT, or transaminases. The aminotransferase
levels rarely exceed 300 IU/L in alcoholic liver disease. So I am
expecting they may appear high to you but are below this level.
Secondly, the question is differentiate between recent alcohol abuse
from a more protracted mild alcoholic hepatitis. The serum GGT level
signifies recent alcohol abuse and will be helpful in this regard.

However, the question is do you have other symptoms? If you have mild
abdominal distress I caution you NOT to consume over the counter
drugs that contain acetaminophen (paracetamol) for example, Baralgan.
Consuming such drugs will greatly increase your AST, ALT levels and
will have a dose dependent and added affect in damaging the liver.

As Ravi mentioned, alchoholic liver dysfunction is rapidly reversibe.
One will need to abstain from consumption of all alchoholic products
(liquid oral medications/ tonic using alchohol as a solvent). Liver
has a vast resourse to tolerate abuse, and this organ gives a second
chance, which other diseases (or sometimes life itself) rarely give.

How much time depends on the extent of damage. These processes are
slow, it is better to stop alcohol and try other activities (long
distance running --for example).

P.S: I chanced upon this question whilst visiting the cricket
section. Good night for today.  (+ info)

should alcohol induced seizures receive the same long term treatment as epilepsy?

---

Having a seizure doesn't mean you have epilepsy. A person isn't diagnosed with epilepsy unless they have more than one "unprovoked" seizures. Having a seizure from drinking too much would probably be considered a "provoked" seizure.

Long term treatment: control your drinking.  (+ info)

Is the bright red, full-body, alcohol-induced rash dangerous?

---

I know someone who has this problem. He drinks a lot, but this is a relatively new occurrence. It's all down his torso, back and front; very angry-looking bright red splotchy rash...looks almost like a map. Is this dangerous?

How to alleviate alcohol-induced sickness?

---

So mixing whiskey and Guinness was not a good idea... I barely had a hangover, but I have an intense sickness, an it's been almost 12 hours. What should I eat and drink (or not eat and drink), or take?
I would try some pain reliever (Tylenol) and lots of water. It could be that your body needs to rid itself of the toxins (alcohol) and water is one of the best ways to do that. I'd also rest as much as possible today.

Good luck....  (+ info)

Alcohol Induced Psychosis?

---

Does anyone know the symptoms of alcohol induced psychosis and how it can be treated (besides stop drinking)? I have a friend who I really believe have this disorder. Only facts please.
My friend drinks everyday and once he become drunk it's like he transforms to this crazy person. i.e he'll just burst out "f**k all yall" and he'll get all emotional. It's like he can't comprehend the smallest thing when he's drunk. He starts going down memory lane and he'll call up his family and if they don't answer he'll leave messages saying "f" yall and screaming & yelling don't nobody love me and all that crap. Sometimes it's like 2 & 3 o'clock in the morning.
That condition is caused in men due to a dangerous mix of alcohol and high testosterone levels. The hyperactivity of the brain and surged blood pressure causes more testosterones to be released, which causes such rage. One way to stop that is to avoid drinking and testosterone reduction can be effectively achieved by castration.  (+ info)

Alcohol induced pins and needles/numbness?

---

I done an alcohol detox last year after drinking 14 units a night for a year, and have had pins and needles in hands since, not all the time though.

I stayed off for a while but unfortunately recently have been drinking quite heavily again, and the pins and needles have come back but last night i went out with my workmates and drunk quite a lot.

today i woke up with quite bad pins and needles on the top of my left foot, (never had it in my feet before) and its stayed all day.

I know that i am probably right in saying its the alcohol but usually it goes yet it has stayed all day?

Regardless of the fact i shouldnt be drinking this much, do you know if this in my foot will go, and how serious is this?

Also, can you get a liver function test at the doctors?

Many Thanks :-) PS I'm 19
It could be your liver, but being 19, I VERY much doubt it. Sounds like you don't really drink too much water do you? Drink LOTS of water after drinking alcohol. Alcohol GREATLY dehydrates your body, and your body NEEDS the water. Once you drink about 2-3 glasses of water, the pins and needles feeling should go away. Also, have you got your iron checked? It might be low iron as well. Worth looking into. Eat a lot of foods with iron in them. Do those 2 things and you should be feeling 10 times better.  (+ info)

Long term alcohol Induced brain fog?

---

I'm 23 and have been drinking 5-6 beers a day for the last year or so. My limited drinking has never gotten to much in the way of my life (school or work) but as of late I've tried to stop entirely. Unfortunately, I now have no energy at all and terrible brain fog. Does anyone have experience with this? When can I expect this to go away - its been a few days since I've drank.
Definitely this is normal..You are detoxing. I'd drink a lot more water if I were you, increase your vitamins (especially "B's"), and eat whole foods as much as possible. Can't hurt to get a thorough check up if you haven't had one yet this year and let the Dr. know what's up.It will get better!

GOOD FOR YOU, by the way!!! :)  (+ info)
