Story

My dad was a really heavy drinker and he had the beginning stages of ALD(Alcoholic Liver Disease). We had no idea he had this at all because he was just starting to form it, The only symptoms he has was yellowing of the eyes which also happens when someone has Hyper Tension (High blood pressure) and kidney failure. Once he got diagnosed with kidney failure he quit drinking because his body could no longer process alcohol, so the ALD stopped progressing if anything just went away. Also I have NAFLD(Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) caused from not having a menstrual cycle for over a year.
