title: [The follow-up of therapeutic remission in alcoholics].
abstract: Usage of alcohol during the period of therapeutic remission of chronic alcoholism without complete restoration of its symptoms indicates failure of therapeutic remission (FTR). A method was suggested to detect FTR by enzymic activity of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, aspartate transaminase, alanintransaminase and glutamate dehydrogenase. FTR is stated at differential threshold of the above enzymes 32, 25, 26 and 6.5 u/l, respectively. Validity of the method was confirmed at examination of 110 chronic alcoholics and 61 healthy persons. Early FTR detection prevents occurrence of true recurrence of chronic alcoholism.
