my brother is an alcaholic who has not had a drink for 4 months he has been really well for a while but has been readmitted to hospital again , he is really confused and seems to be going back in time, he is talking about things that happened years ago, is this a result of his liver damage and is this permanent or can he recover from this.
Hi jams, i feel your brother has liver problem but to make sure please consult the doctor for routine tests for liver damage like Ultra sound abdomen, liver function tests. If these tests are suggestive of chronic liver disease, I am afraid it is not reversible. If your brother does not have jaundice, abdominal distension then he requires neurologist opinion. All this confusion can be avoided with above tests that advised. Hoping for the best outcome, bye
