Popis: 53 percent of ethanol drinkers had, before detoxication, a-γ-GT higher than the upper limit of the reference interval at the 2.5 percent risk level (36 mU/ml). 44 percent had a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) higher than the limit (99.2 μm 3 ). In alcoholics not previously “weaned” during a rest cure or in a hospital the proportion becomes 67 percent for γ-GT but remains at 44 percent for MCV. γ-GT thus seems a better test for the screening of an excessive ethanol intake than MCV, especially when the subject has not been previously weaned.
