Abstract
Mean corpuscular volume, thrombocyte count and levels of gamma-glutamyltransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, urate, and triglycerides were analyzed in 100 previously untreated female alcoholics. If used for screening, urate and triglycerides were found to be of no value, while various combinations of the other biochemical markers identified up to 75% of the patients.Keywords
