Therapist Philip Kuzmenko called jaundice a harbinger of liver cirrhosis.
– Alcohol harms the liver – everyone knows that. But the liver is devoid of pain receptors, plus it is very difficult to destroy it (remember the myth of Prometheus). Therefore, this knowledge does not stop alcoholics. Usually until the skin starts to turn yellow. Jaundice is a precursor to cirrhosis. If it has appeared, it cannot be rolled back. In fact, this is all, “Finita la comedy”, , the doctor wrote on his personal blog.
According to him, you can die from cirrhosis on the background of alcoholism, but much more often alcoholics die either from cardiac arrest, stroke, or from injuries received on the background of use.
