Abstract
The rate of ethanol metabolism (EMR) was determined in alcoholic patients with or without hepatic necrosis, steatosis, and/or cirrhosis. Fifty six cases were studied after 9–25 days of abstinence (mean 15 days). A significant increase in EMR (PP<0.05) was also observed. Patients with slight fibrosis but without other abnormalities in their liver biopsies and cirrhotics with overt liver failure (jaundice, ascites) showed EMR similar to controls.Keywords
