Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

Alcoholic liver disease progresses from fatty liver,to alcoholic hepatitis,to cirrhosis.The first phase,fatty liver,occurs when alcohol consumption increases the synthesis and deposition of fat in the liver.This eventually leads to the second phase,alcoholic hepatitis,which is an inflammation of the liver.Both of these conditions are reversible if an individual decreases their alcohol consumption and adopts good nutritional and health practices.However,if heavy alcohol consumption continues,alcoholic hepatitis can develop into cirrhosis of the liver.Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease characterized by the loss of functioning of liver cells due to the accumulation of fibrous connective tissue throughout the liver.Cirrhosis is an irreversible condition.
