I had "alcoholic hepatitis," the second phase of alcoholic liver disease, and my enzymes were over 700. But when I abstained, the enzyme count went back to normal, but I still have a fatty liver. It will take a bit more time for the fat to completely leave my liver. Jaundice, which causes yellow eyes and skin, is a symptom at this stage.
Statistically, only 15% of alcoholics ever get to the final stage, cirrhosis, which is good news. My grandfather died of it and it was painful to watch and I know painful for him to live with for 5 years.
