Alcoholic Hepatitis

What is Alcoholic Hepatitis?

Alcoholic hepatitis is acute liver inflammation caused by heavy alcohol use, ranging from mild to life-threatening. Key stages:

  • Mild: Reversible with alcohol cessation.
  • Severe: Jaundice, coagulopathy, and high mortality without urgent care.

At Liver Surgeons, Delhi’s premier alcoholic hepatitis center, we combine medical expertise and empathy to heal livers and lives.

GENETIC LIVER CARE

Genetic Liver Disorder FAQs

While not curable, conditions like hemochromatosis and Wilson’s disease are manageable with phlebotomy or copper chelation therapy. Early care prevents complications.

No, but early diagnosis and strict dietary/therapy plans (e.g., nitisinone for tyrosinemia) allow normal development.

Initially weekly, then 3–4 times yearly once iron levels stabilize.

Yes. Non-invasive cheek swabs or blood tests are used at our Delhi center.

A low-copper diet is critical. Avoid shellfish, nuts, chocolate, and organ meats. Our Delhi team includes dietitians who create personalized meal plans alongside copper chelation therapy to prevent liver and neurological damage.

Misfolded proteins accumulate in the liver, causing fibrosis, while their absence in the lungs leads to emphysema. Enzyme replacement therapy addresses lung issues, while regular liver elastography monitors fibrosis. Dr. Ashish George’s team coordinates care with pulmonologists for holistic management.

Yes! Our genetic liver disease specialists in Delhi provide pre-and post-test counseling to explain inheritance risks, family planning, and preventive strategies for conditions like hemochromatosis or pediatric metabolic diseases.

Initially, every 3 months to adjust diets or medications (e.g., nitisinone for tyrosinemia). Once stable, biannual check-ups suffice. Our India clinics use advanced biomarkers to track progress and prevent crises.
