Nutritional therapy. This is a crucial part of treating alcoholic hepatitis because malnutrition contributes to liver damage. A doctor or dietitian is likely to recommend a high-calorie, nutrient-dense dietary plan to help liver cells regenerate. Doctors also often recommend reducing dietary fat because alcohol interferes with the normal metabolism of fatty acids, leading to deposits of fat in the liver (alcoholic fatty liver). In some cases, medium-chain triglycerides may be prescribed as a supplement. This is a type of fat, found primarily in coconut oil, that may actually help reduce the buildup of harmful fats in the liver. Supplementing with vitamins and minerals depleted by alcohol — especially vitamins B-1, B-2 and B-6 and calcium and iron — also is key.
Lifestyle changes. Quitting smoking and maintaining a healthy weight can help improve liver function. Smoking has been shown to increase the rate of liver scarring in people with alcoholic hepatitis, and obesity contributes to fatty liver
