[Changes in blood Zn, Se, Cd, Pb during therapeutic abstinence from alcohol in 101 cases of alcoholism].
The patients were subdivided into 3 groups, in accordance with clinical, echographic, laboratory and laparoscopy criteria: without liver disease, with liver disease and with alcoholic cirrhosis. In alcoholics with liver disease (with or without cirrhosis), we found a constant significant decrease in lead during abstinence, while in patients with cirrhosis zinc has a significant increase. Always lower to normal the blood selenium. The cadmium in the serum increases also after a month.
