在中国,饮酒文化源远流长,但过度饮酒对健康的危害却日益受到公众的关注。54岁的老张,有着30多年的酒龄,每天至少1斤白酒加啤酒是他“标配”的生活方式。他常挂在嘴边的一句话是“人在江湖飘,哪能不喝高”。然而,4年前,老张却莫名地出现了右上腹不适,尽管肝脏彩超和肝功能检查基本正常,但医生仍劝诫他戒酒。
在医生的劝诫下,老张戒了酒,并开始遵照医嘱,每年定期复查肝脏彩超和肝功能。然而,今年的一次检查显示,尽管老张已经戒酒多年,但他的肝功能仍然存在异常。这一发现引发了社会各界对于戒酒后肝功能能否恢复的广泛讨论。
专家表示,长期饮酒会对肝脏造成不可逆的损伤,即使戒酒后,肝脏的恢复也需要时间。肝脏是一个强大的器官,具有自我修复的能力,但这种修复过程是缓慢的,并且受到多种因素的影响,包括戒酒后的生活方式、营养状况、遗传因素等。
老张的故事提醒人们,饮酒过量不仅会对肝脏造成伤害,还可能引发其他健康问题。因此,为了健康着想,应当适量饮酒,甚至戒酒,以减少对肝脏的损害。同时,定期进行健康检查,及时发现并处理潜在的健康问题,也是维护健康的重要措施。
随着公众健康意识的提高,越来越多的人开始关注饮酒对健康的影响,并采取措施保护自己的肝脏健康。老张的故事,正是这一趋势的缩影,也是对所有饮酒者的一种警示。

Title: Can Liver Function Recover After Quitting Alcohol? The Story of Old Zhang Stirs Concern
Article:
In China, the culture of drinking has a long history, but the harm of excessive alcohol consumption to health is increasingly being recognized by the public. Old Zhang, aged 54, has a history of drinking for over 30 years, and his daily “standard” consisted of at least a pint of白酒 (Chinese liquor) and beer. He often said, “In the world of men, how can one not get drunk?” However, four years ago, he suddenly experienced discomfort in the right upper abdomen. Although liver ultrasound and liver function tests were basically normal, the doctor still advised him to quit drinking.
Under the doctor’s advice, Old Zhang quit drinking and started to follow the doctor’s instructions, regularly checking his liver ultrasound and liver function once a year. However, this year’s checkup showed that despite having been sober for many years, Old Zhang’s liver function still showed abnormalities. This finding has sparked widespread discussion among society about whether liver function can recover after quitting alcohol.
Experts say that long-term alcohol consumption can cause irreversible damage to the liver, even if one quits drinking, the recovery of the liver takes time. The liver is a powerful organ with the ability to self-repair, but this process is slow and influenced by various factors, including lifestyle after quitting, nutritional status, genetic factors, and more.
Old Zhang’s story reminds people that excessive drinking not only damages the liver but can also lead to other health issues. Therefore, for the sake of health, one should drink in moderation or quit altogether to reduce harm to the liver. Regular health check-ups are also important to detect and address potential health problems in a timely manner.
With the increasing awareness of public health, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to the impact of drinking on health and taking measures to protect their liver health. Old Zhang’s story is a microcosm of this trend and a warning to all drinkers.
