The health body explains that although the liver is very resilient and capable of regenerating itself. Each time your liver filters alcohol, some of the liver cells die.
It says: “The liver can develop new cells, but prolonged alcohol misuse (drinking too much) over many years can reduce its ability to regenerate. This can result in serious and permanent damage to your liver.”
ARLD is very common in the UK, it continues. Indeed, the number of people with the condition has been increasing over the last few decades as a result of increasing levels of alcohol misuse.
It warns that a person who has alcohol-related cirrhosis and does not stop drinking has a less than 50 percent chance of living for at least five more years.
