- W3215096855 abstract "The liver is the main target organ for hepatitis viruses and the vital organ for alcohol metabolism. These two factors of viral hepatitis and alcohol abuse in combination can exert dual harmful actions, leading to enhanced damage to the liver. Epidemiological studies have revealed a higher prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among alcoholics than the general population. The interaction of alcohol with viral hepatitis [e.g., hepatitis B virus (HBV), HCV] and the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The effects of alcohol on viral hepatitis include promoted viral replication, weakened immune response, and increased oxidative stress. Clinically, alcohol abuse is correlated with an increased risk of developing end-stage liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C, suggesting that the combination of alcohol and HBV/HCV lead to more severe liver damage. The influence of mild to moderate alcohol drinking on the HBV-induced liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma among patients infected with HBV remains unclear. Unlike HBV infected patients, no safe level of alcohol intake has been established for patients with HCV. Even light to moderate alcohol use can exert a synergistic effect with viral hepatitis, leading to the rapid progression of liver disease. Furthermore, interferon-based therapy is less effective in alcohol drinkers than in control patients, even after abstinence from alcohol for a period of time. Therefore, abstaining from alcohol is highly recommended to protect the liver, especially in individuals with HBV/HCV infection, to improve the clinical efficacy of antiviral treatment and prevent the rapid progression of chronic viral hepatitis." @default.
