Alcohol Induced Hepatitis, Extremely Cold Always. Is There A Correlation To Cirrhosis ?
My husband has been dealing with Alcohol Induced Hepatitis and the docs have now started using the term Cirrhosis. I have been reading about signs and symptoms, but my one question is that he is always extremely cold. We live in Florida and the house temp is 78 to 79 degrees. He is wearing a t-shirt, long sleeved winter shirt, his bathrobe, then is covered with either 1 or 2 blankets. Where is this coming from? Is there a correlation to the cirrhosis?

Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
Yes, cirrhosis is serious liver damage which can cause various metabolic disorders. But the cirrhosis should be ferified by ultrasound or CT scan,it cant be just assumed. He simply must quit drinking,this is the only cure. Without qutting there is no medicine which can help.
Wish you good health. Regards
