The body breaks down the caffeine in coffee to get rid of it. Alcohol can decrease how quickly the body breaks down caffeine. Taking coffee along with alcohol might cause too much caffeine in the bloodstream and caffeine side effects including jitteriness, headache, and fast heartbeat.
For instance, autoimmune hepatitis can co-exist with a viral hepatitis, such as hepatitis B or hepatitis C, and can be exacerbated by liver damage caused by alcohol abuse. Since the treatment of hepatitis depends on the cause, it is very important that your doctor understand the underlying cause(s) of your condition.
Type 1 autoimmune liver disease is characterized by the presence of high levels of anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) or anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA). ASMA are IgG or IgM antibodies that are primarily directed against F-actin.Since F-actin is present in all smooth muscle fibers, these antibodies are not organ specific.Smooth muscle antibodies are found in: 1  70 to 90% of patients with chronic active hepatitis. 2  70 to 90% of patients with chronic persistent hepatitis.3  30 to 40% of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.ince F-actin is present in all smooth muscle fibers, these antibodies are not organ specific.
