Answer:
The liver of the patient has been damaged.
Explanation:
- As given in the question, the organ which secretes bile has been damaged due to the consumption of excessive alcohol by the patient.
- It is the liver that is responsible for bile acid production and secretion into bile and released into the intestine.
- The majority of these bile acids get reabsorbed in the ileum and the liver removes the maximum during one passage.
- Bile secreted from the hepatic cells in the digestive gland helps in the absorption of fat.
- ASH or Alcohol-related Steatohepatitis is an alcohol-related liver disease where fat accumulates inside the liver and the liver fails to function properly.
Hence the correct answer is Liver.
