Effects of alcohol on internal organs

EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL ON INTERNAL ORGANS.

- Effects on the stomach.

The effect of alcohol on the stomach is extremely dangerous that it becomes unable to supply the natural digestive fluid in sufficient quantity and is not able to absorb the food which it's going to imperfectly digest. A condition is manifested by the sense of nausea emptiness, prostration and distention will always be faced by an alcoholic. This leads to a loathing for food and is teased with searching for more drink. And there is a permanent disorder which is named dyspepsia. The most serious types of indigestion originate from this practice.

- How the liver gets affected.

The organic damages caused by the continued use of alcohol are usually of a fatal character. The liver is the organ that most often undergoes structural changes from alcohol. Normally, the liver has the power to hold active substances in its cellular parts. In cases of poisoning by various poisonous compounds, the Forensic doctor analyzes the liver as if it were the central depot of the foreign matter. it's practically the identical with relevance alcohol. The liver of an alcoholic isn't free from the effect of alcohol and it's too often filled with it. The minute membranous structure of the liver becomes affected, leading to impairment of proper dialysis and free secretion. The liver becomes enlarged due to the dilatation of its vessels, the accumulation of fluid matter and also the thickening of tissue. This follows the contraction of the membrane and shrinking of the entire organ in its cellular parts. Then the lower parts of the alcoholic become dropsical due to the obstruction against the returning blood by the veins. The liver cells are replaced with fatty cells and undergo 'fatty liver'.

- How the Kidneys get affected.

The Kidneys also are affected due to the acute consumption of alcohol. The vessels of Kidneys lose their elasticity and ability to contraction. The minute structures in them undergo fatty degeneration. Albumin passes easily from the blood through their membranes. This leads to losing body power as if it were being run out of blood gradually. 

- Congestion of the lungs.

Alcohol dilates the vessels of the lungs easily as they are most exposed to the changes of warmth and cold. When subjected to the consequences of a rapid variation in atmospheric temperature, they get easily congested. During violent winter seasons, alcoholic persons are easy to be affected by fatal congestions of lungs.

- How the guts get affected.

Consumption of alcohol extremely affects the guts. the standard of the membraneous structures which cover and line the guts changes and become thickened & cartilaginous or calcareous. Then the valves lose their flexibility and valvular disorder becomes permanent. The structure of the coats of the thin blood-vessel that arise from the guts undergoes the same changes of structure so the vessel loses its elasticity and its power to produce the guts by the recoil from its distention,  after the guts, by its stroke, has filled it with blood.

Again, the musculature of the guts fails to prevent degenerative changes in its tissue. Most of the muscular fibers are replaced by fatty cells or, if not so replaced, are themselves transferred into a modified muscular texture within which the ability of contraction is extremely reduced.

Those who suffer from these organic damages of the central and governing organ of the circulation of the blood learn the actual fact so insidiously, it hardly breaks upon them until the mischief is much advanced. they're attentive to a central failure of power from slight causes like overexertion, trouble, broken rest or too long abstinence from food. They feel what they call a 'sinking' but they know that wine or another stimulant will without delay relieve the feeling. Thus they seek to alleviate it until ultimately, they discover that the remedy fails. this either overflows into the tissues gradually damming up the courses or under some slight shock or way over motion ceases wholly in the middle.
