Man with liver enzymes 10 times above normal continues drinking

A 29-year-old man featured on JTBC's 'Love War' is trapped in a vicious cycle of daily drinking despite liver enzyme levels reaching 350, more than 10 times the normal limit. Even after receiving emergency room treatment for deteriorating pancreatic and liver health, he has repeatedly resumed drinking just days later.

The story of a participant who cannot stop drinking even when liver enzyme levels significantly exceed the normal range was shared. In the 19th episode of JTBC's 'Love War', the situation of a man who repeatedly consumes alcohol despite deteriorating pancreatic and liver health was addressed.

Liver levels reach 350, over 10 times the normal limit, leading to a vicious cycle of emergency room visits

The participant was reported to have previously received diagnoses indicating poor health in several parts of his body, including the pancreas and liver. In particular, his liver enzyme levels reached 350, far exceeding the normal range of 30 to 50. This figure is more than 10 times the normal level, and it was revealed that his condition was extremely serious, with other values soaring as high as 1,500.

Drinking continued even in situations where his health deteriorated to the point of seeking emergency room treatment. There were instances where he went directly to the emergency room after drinking. Even when his levels returned to the normal range through hospital treatment, the process of drinking again just a few days later repeated itself. The participant stated that he is experiencing a vicious cycle where his health worsens due to the repetition of drinking every day even while receiving treatment. This repetitive behavior was described as being as unending as a Möbius strip.

Concerns raised over 29-year-old's behavior, with warnings to "stop if you don't want to die"

The fact that the participant is 29 years old caused concern among those participating in the conversation. It was pointed out that recording such levels at a young age is an issue that cannot be dismissed as mere bravado. The participants warned that "the human liver cannot endure indefinitely" and that his current drinking habits could be directly linked to his life. In particular, voices of concern continued, suggesting that he could die if he is not spoken to strongly.

The participant showed a pattern of drinking again after only a few days, leading the other participants to express regret at his apparent self-destruction. It was emphasized that at the age of 29, this is not a time for bravado, and rather than a matter of offering drinks to friends, it is an urgent situation directly related to life and death.
