[Assessment of liver pathology on the basis of biochemical and ultrasonographic findings in a group of alcohol dependent patients].
The paper presents the assessment of liver pathology based on clinical examinations, biochemical findings and abdominal ultrasound examination with colour Doppler modalities in a group of 40 alcohol dependent patients. Special regard was paid to the liver, it is size, echogenecity, homogeneity and flow patterns in the portal vein. No significant correlations between the biochemical and USG parameters of liver pathology and the intensity of alcohol withdrawal and the level of the alcohol dependence syndrome were found. It can be concluded that the biochemical parameters as well as ultra sound diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease do not allow to make a final diagnosis of liver pathology.
