Hello doctor, I have been drinking alcohol in high amounts as of late. About three to four scotch whiskey drinks a day. I do believe it is from me drinking too much. I also have some problems with my urine and my leukocyte esterase test came as "Trace" AB. Since my liver levels are this high do I need to quit drinking all together? Or can I still have one or two a week??
Dear Friend,
You must stop drinking altogether. As you have developed alcohol induced hepatitits.
The good news is that, it is 100% reversible in early stages. You are in early stage now and therefore, stopping alcholo with bring your liver function to normal in a few weeks.
There is no room for even small amounts as it is going to aggravate the injury.
Urine repprt is suggestive of mild infection.
Take a course of antibiotics. Ofloxacin would be better can be taken safely with minor liver injury.
Wish you good health.
Regard,
Dr Kiran
