Alcohol

-Induced Liver Damage Alcohol-Induced Liver Damage, also known as alcoholic liver disease, is an injury to the liver caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Long-term drinking of alcohol can lead to fatty liver, inflammation, cirrhosis, and ultimately, liver failure. This can cause serious health concerns including gastrointestinal bleeding, infections, and liver cancer. Regular drinking, binge drinking, and binge drinking combined with other substances, such as drugs, can increase the risk for alcohol-induced liver damage. Treatment involves abstaining from alcohol and other substances of abuse, and following a healthy lifestyle. Liver transplant may be necessary for people who develop severe complications. Taking measures to prevent alcohol-induced liver damage, such as reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption, can help to reduce the risk of complications associated with this condition.
