Medical research shows that more than 90% of the wine we drink is metabolized in the liver. The liver has a strong ability to metabolize alcohol. If we drink 50 ml of Moutai, it is about 30 grams of alcohol, liver. Metabolism takes approximately 46 hours. However, the metabolism of alcohol in the liver is at the expense of itself, because a large amount of coenzyme I, coenzyme II and cytochrome P450 are consumed in the metabolic process. Excessive consumption of these substances can lead to necrosis of liver cells and gradually make liver fibers. And even cirrhosis. This is just the danger of drinking alcohol to the liver. It can be said that it is harmful to all organs of the body. Prolonged drinking can lead to anemia, platelet dysfunction, various bleeding; can lead to gastrointestinal malabsorption, nutrient deficiency treatment leads to decreased vitamin B1, B2 and folic acid utilization, increased vitamin B6 excretion; Hemorrhage, atherosclerosis, etc.; these are the hazards to the whole body. We know that the recovery of kidney disease needs to have a good “; must week; environment, drinking is not good for the recovery of kidney disease.
In addition, drinking alcohol also harms the kidneys. Drinking alcohol will affect the body’s nitrogen balance, increase protein decomposition, and increase the blood urea nitrogen content. This will inevitably increase the burden on the kidneys. If the problem is normal, the problem is not great. However, for patients with kidney disease or chronic renal insufficiency, it is the disease rehabilitation “blocking the tiger”.
Of course, a small amount of drinking has certain benefits to the body, such as strengthening the body’s ability to protect against UV damage, etc., but the amount here is very small, about a few grams of alcohol into a few days, generally Drinking amount can not be so small, the amount is difficult to control, therefore, it is best for patients with nephritis to stay away from the wine? .
