Clinical aspects on molecular probes, markers and metabolism.
Though today techniques utilizing molecular methods are emphasized, we must not neglect to put the molecular data into a clinical context. Extrapolations should be handled with great care. The knowledge on alcohol has many levels, and facts are often taken out of context. For a proper report of a clinical state or situation, validity lies both in the precision of clinical descriptions and in the accuracy of the molecular parameter. Alcohol as a medical risk factor is often disregarded, and there is often a communication gap.
