A member asked:
How long does it take for cirrhosis to happen drinking with high alt & ast? no hep c, 27yo male, drinking 7 years, all other numbers normal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can happen quickly: Even at your young age, extensive alcohol consumption can sicken the liver to the point of cirrhosis even in a very short span of time (like 7 years). Moderation and potentially complete abstinence may be your only hope to prevent this serious condition. Good luck.
