Abstract
Background Health problems related to lifestyle and behavior are increasingly common in modern societies. Recent studies have indicated that the common liver enzymes, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are increased in alcoholics. In this study we analyzed blood sample of chronic alcoholics. Methods Alcohol consumption, smoking, coffee drinking, income, education, food habits were analyzed using detailed questionnaires. The mean age of study group was 41.95 ± 8.45 years. Results Serum AST was found to be 36.92 ± 26.35 U/L, serum ALT was found to be 53.59 ± 31.24 U/L, serum ALP was found to be 102.47 ± 29.03 U/L. and serum GGT was found to be 66.63 ± 30.96 U/L. Serum HDL-Cholesterol was found to be 44.68 ± 11.66 mg/dl. Conclusion The result showed that alcoholics had increased serum liver enzymes and decreased serum HDL- Cholesterol.
