| Popis: | Alcohol dependence is one of the main reasons for inpatient admission to psychiatric hospitals. The abuse of this chemical substance can cause modifications in our organism and among them, variations in the oxidative stress parameters. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital unit to treat alcohol dependence, comparing oxidative stress, renal and hepatic function parameters from the moment of admission to those obtained at discharge. Hepatic function was verified through gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT), alkaline-phosphatase (ALP), aspartate-aminotransferase (AST) and alanine-aminotransferase (ALT) activity measurements. Urea and creatinine serum levels were measured for kidney function evaluation. Oxidative stress was evaluated by superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Medications used during hospital stay were record and their influence over the measured parameters analyzed. Twenty-eight patients (82% male, 44 ± 13 years old) were included in this study. A significant increase in BMI of patients after the period of hospitalization could be observed. There were reductions in creatinine, AST, ALT, GGT and ALP serum levels. SOD levels were lower at discharge, while GPx and FRAP presented higher levels. Chlorpromazine use showed influence over some hepatic function markers (ALT, GGT and ALP) and oxidative stress parameters (CAT and GPx); while carbamazepine use influenced GGT and FRAP. Patients on alcohol dependence treatment had significant improvements of renal and hepatic function parameters and higher GPx and FRAP values after the hospitalization period, which indicates reversion of alcohol effects over oxidative stress parameters. |
