What happens if Xiao Sanyang drinks alcohol

"Xiao Sanyang" and "Da Sanyang" are two special terms in the medical field, mainly referring to the related symptoms of hepatitis B. Compared with the big three positive hepatitis B patients, the small three positive hepatitis B patients do not have particularly obvious symptoms, but viruses and bacteria still exist in the body. If not treated in time, the liver will be eroded by the virus in the long run, causing diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. If you want to cure Xiao Sanyang, there are many related taboos in terms of food. So what are the effects of drinking alcohol on patients with Xiao Sanyang?

Most patients with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) have damaged livers, and alcohol is extremely harmful to the health of patients with Hepatitis B virus (HBV). The virus and alcohol together have a very high risk of liver damage and the eventual development of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Therefore, no matter how much you drink, whether it is white wine, red wine or beer, it will make the situation worse for the liver that has already been attacked by the hepatitis B virus. Therefore, patients with hepatitis B virus must abstain from alcohol and not drink at all. If work requires it, they can drink some non-alcoholic substitutes such as beverages and non-alcoholic beer.

The main component of alcohol is ethanol. Alcohol enters the blood through the digestive system and can be converted into acetaldehyde by the liver. Under normal circumstances, acetaldehyde can be broken down by the human body into non-toxic substances and excreted from the body. However, for patients with hepatitis B, the liver is damaged and cannot break down and excrete all acetaldehyde. The undecomposed acetaldehyde can directly enter the liver and damage liver cells, causing deformation and necrosis of liver cells.

After alcohol enters the liver, it can not only directly damage the liver, but also inhibit the regeneration and repair function of liver cells, destroy the body's defense system, reduce the body's immune function, aggravate the damage of liver cells in patients with hepatitis B, and cause liver cells to deform or even necrotize, and even develop into cirrhosis or even liver cancer. For hepatitis B patients who are undergoing antiviral treatment for hepatitis B, alcohol can inhibit the effect of hepatitis B antiviral drugs after entering the human body, greatly weakening the antiviral efficacy of the drugs. At this time, the course of treatment for hepatitis B patients should not be increased. Not only will it not help the disease recover, but it will also increase the financial burden on patients and their families.
