title: [Hematological, biochemical and electroneurophysiological changes in asymptomatic drinkers: a sensitivity study].
abstract: An electro-neuro-physiological, biochemical and hematological study was carried out in 3 groups of non-symptomatic drinkers: those in group A had a daily alcohol intake of less than 40 grams of alcohol; group B had a daily intake of between 40 and 80 grams of alcohol and those in group C had an intake greater than 80 grams of alcohol per day. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that all the parameters evaluated show quicker alterations when the intake of ethanol is chronic. Electroneuro-physiological parameters were less sensitive than the following indexes: VCM, GGT, GOT, GPT. However, in 50.9% of the patients there were changes in conduction speed, which is an important point to take into account when making a therapeutic decision.
