You can get much useful information about liver health and let others share your experiences here.

Good to know of that, sir. I am indeed very interested to accumulate all the available information on liver's health. How do I get it from you? Please treat it as most earnest.

my husband had an artery in his face that burst... the doctors said he has liver hepatitis, is that form of hepatitis contagious, should i be worried about myself and my child? Also, he is consuming alcohol in large amounts and isnt quitting, how long does a patient have before cirrhousis develops ? How long can someone live with this disease

depending on the length of time,and whatlevel of alcohol your husband consumes the approx gestation period for any diagnostic developmental signsare 10yrs.You didn't say how long he has been drinking,or what his drink is.he obvioustly needs help NOW before further medical/psychosocial issues are present.Idon't know what resources they have in America to tackle this problem but he needs to go into a rehab centre for quite a while.Does he accept that he has a problem or--is he in denial? has it started to effect his mental state,and are you being swept along with his interchanging behaviour patterns.Regards to your question about hep c you can only contaminate yourself/daughter if either one of you make direct contact with his blood.ie:cuts etc.I would be more concerned about the effect on the family dynamics that this disease can create. Get him help NOW! GOODLUCK.

Alcohol is metabolized more slowly than it is absorbed.

This is a very nice article. I think alcohol liver disease is rare among youngsters.

I think the very important part of treatment is to stop using alcohol completely. If cirrhosis develops then you will need to manage the complications of cirrhosis. You made need a liver transplant. Some vitamins especially B.complex and folic acid can help reverse malnutrition. Abstinence is the mainstay of treatment; it can prevent further damage from alcoholic liver disease and thus prolong life. Because compliance is problematic, a compassionate team approach is essential.
