Abstract:
:279 male patients consecutively admitted to a medical ward were interviewed about their drinking habits using a CAGE-like questionnaire and were subdivided into teetotallers, normal-, borderline-, heavy-drinkers. The mean values of the following laboratory tests resulted significantly different in heavy drinkers compared with the others: mean cell volume, gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase, serum urea (BUN), SGOT, SGPT, total bilirubin. No significant difference was found for triglycerides, uric acid, albumin and gamma-globulins. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values of positive test and negative test, "goodness" were calculated for each of the 6 above-mentioned tests. Each of them had a linear correlation (inverse for BUN, direct for the others) between amount of alcohol intake and level of the test.
