Application

Application Comment Organism
diagnostics GLDH, gama-glutamyltransferase, aspartate-aminotransferase, alanine-aminotransferase and erythrocyte mean cell volume are assessed in 238 alcoholics admitted to hospital: on admission, after 24 h and after 7 days. All the values are significantly higher than those in healthy persons. The fastest activity decrease is seen in GLDH. The kinetics of GLDH and aspartate-aminotranferase are more applicable than gama-glutamyltransferase kinetics after a week, but GLDH kinetics are most reliable. GLDH is the most specific laboratory marker with almost 90% specificity. The sensitivity of combination erythrocyte mean cell volume and GLDH kinetics after 1 week of abstinence is pathognomonic by 97.2%. GLDH is an equally accurate marker of alcoholism in comparison to others Homo sapiens
