Draw the safety limits for alcohol consumption
Question: How much alcohol to drink it not to hurt the liver and brain: Zhejiang Medical a hospital, Professor Li and his well-known leadership task force method: to set the exact amount of alcohol safety limits, smart Office: the number of alcohol intake with the formula for an operator to clear .
Like to drink wine to quickly calculate, within the last five years, if more than 100 kilograms on alcohol is likely to have alcoholic liver disease. Zhejiang Medical Center has developed an a formula, in order to draw safe alcohol consumption limits.
Well-known liver expert and vice president of Zhejiang Medical one led by Professor Li-known subject of the Panel in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Xiangshan and other places a random sample of 20000 adults to investigate. The results showed that the prevalence of alcoholic liver disease, Zhejiang Province is 4.34%. Which accounted for 0.68% of alcoholic cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis, accounting for 1.51%, alcoholic fatty liver disease accounted for 0.94%, mild alcoholic liver injury accounted for 1.21%; there is 8.83% of Patients with hepatitis B virus infection, it would increase the alcohol the degree of liver disease.
Men and women suffering from alcoholic liver disease ratio of 8:1. Strong manual labor (such as coal miners, etc.) in alcoholics with alcoholic liver disease prevalence rate is highest. The same labor intensity of the alcoholics, the fishermen, the prevalence rate is relatively low, which could, and they often eat less fat seafood. If the alcohol combined with the high fat diet means big mouth to eat meat, may increase the risk of alcoholic liver disease.
Further analysis, Professor Li said that if more than 5 consecutive years of more than 40 grams per day of alcohol intake (8 money), that accumulated 73 kg or more, 48% will suffer from varying degrees of alcoholic liver disease; while drinking more than the number of years 5 years, total alcohol intake of more than 100 kilograms of alcohol abuse among the crowd, a greater proportion of illness. Calculate the amount of alcohol intake can be applied to the following formula: the amount of alcohol intake (grams) = alcohol consumption (a few milliliters) × alcohol concentration (%) × 0.8. For example, a drunk 52 degrees (52%) of white wine 100 ml of alcohol intake on the amount of 41.6 grams (100 × 52% × 0.8). However, the safe dose is not a “monolithic” women and patients with hepatitis itself more sensitive to alcohol, even lower than the safe dose of the above will be sick.
In addition, the alcohol in different ways, to the liver injury is also different. Natural than the once in a long-term drinking booze serious; daily alcohol drinking compared with Gesanchaiwu harm large; occasional time off than booze to drink within a day fractionated great harm. Professor Li said the general in alcoholic hepatitis stage, the physical examination can be found at this time the treatment results were better; but if developed into cirrhosis of the liver stage, his condition is irreversible.
At home and abroad is still a lack of large-scale epidemiological survey of alcoholic liver disease, led by Professor Li is the subject to fill the gap, and was second prize of scientific and technological innovation, Zhejiang Province. In this foreshadowing, by the China Institute of fatty liver and alcoholic liver disease liver disease study group led by the national drinking situations and alcohol liver disease epidemiological survey has recently been launched, it will by my people over the age of 18 drinking situation and national distribution of alcoholic liver disease epidemiological investigation and research, in order to further study the relationship between alcohol consumption and liver provide a scientific basis.
Professor Li also revealed that their next goal is to find human genes in alcohol-sensitive enzyme. Just go to the hospital the next one to be a check, we can know the amount of alcohol metabolizing enzymes, activity capacity, which will become the drink of the precise evidence of their capability.
