| Popis: | The time course of plasma glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) elevation was studied in 42 male alcoholics admitted for alcohol detoxification or for the treatment of medical complications of alcoholism and in 2 volunteers consuming 2 g/kg/day of ethanol under metabolic ward conditions. GDH values were usually highest during or immediately after cessation of drinking; thereafter, they fell rapidly toward the normal range. Early GDH values correlated well with liver histology in 37 patients who subsequently underwent diagnostic liver biopsy. |
