I'm dealing with an alcohol addiction and my liver function is acting up. I'm currently taking Udiliv 150, but sometimes I still end up drinking at night because of the cravings. I'm really concerned if taking Udiliv is safe when I'm also consuming alcohol. What should I do?

Udiliv 150 contains Ursodeoxycholic acid, which is commonly used to improve liver function. However, it is not recommended to consume alcohol while taking Udiliv as alcohol can further damage the liver and reduce the effectiveness of the medication. It is important to avoid alcohol completely to allow Udiliv to work effectively in improving your liver function.

Can the liver repair itself?

Liver can regenerate by itself. It means that even if a person donates half a liver, it will grow back to normal size within few months. Liver is very resilinet and can develop new cells, but prolonged alcohol misuse (drinking too much) over many years can reduce its ability to regenerate.

I'm really worried about my husband who's 34. His SGOT and SGPT levels are high, and he's been experiencing swelling in his legs and face. Could this be a sign of a liver problem or something else? I'm not sure what all of this could mean but I'm definitely concerned. Could you help us understand what's going on?
