A member asked:
Husband is 33.a year ago had alcoholic hepatitis. has been hospitalized in past for dehydration and shut down kidneys.how will this progress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serious problems: If your husband continues to drink alcohol (or take medications that have similar effects), he is likely to continue to have serious medical problems with chronic liver and kidney damage leading to disability or death. The only way to prevent this is for him to stop drinking.
