Brief Answer:
Please can you upload the test results to check them by myself?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

You have alcoholic hepatitis and it will require 6-12 months to improve hepatic function after stopping alcohol. So it's to early to see any improvement. However it all depends on the severity of alcoholic hepatitis.

Please can you upload the test results to check them by myself?

To speed the process of healing (recovery) I would like to suggest:
- Vitamin E
- Tiamine (vitamin B1)
- Pentoxyfilline and glucocorticoids on severe cases.

Wishing you health!
Dr. Klerida
