Alcoholic Liver Disease Treatment in South Delhi
Alcohol damages the liver in stages — fat, then inflammation (alcoholic hepatitis), then scarring (cirrhosis). The first two are reversible with abstinence; the third is not, but even then progression can be halted. Dr Paliwal treats the liver and helps patients and families with the alcohol, without judgement.

Questions patients ask about alcoholic liver disease
Can the liver recover after stopping alcohol?
Fatty liver and alcoholic hepatitis improve markedly within weeks to months of abstinence. Cirrhosis does not reverse but stabilises, and survival improves dramatically.
How much alcohol is safe for the liver?
There is no fully safe amount; risk increases substantially above 14 units a week, and any alcohol is harmful once liver disease is present.
