[Use of the measurement of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase activity in serum to determine the success of cures for alcohol detoxification (author's transl)].
44 patients were studied during a 2-year period following a cure for alcohol detoxification. 29 patients (group A) did not start drinking again while 15 relapsed less than one year after their cure (group R). The average gamma GT activity (m) in mU per ml serum was, in group A, 148 (standard deviation, S.D. 184) at the beginning of the cure, 21 (S.D. 14) after one year and 19 (S.D. 13) after 2 years. During the same period there was no significant decrease in group R (cure: m 140, S.D. 161: 1 year: m 166, S.D. 164; 2 years: m 162, S.D. 163). On the other hand, all the subjects of group A who had a high gamma GT activity (greater than 29 mU/ml) at the start of the cure showed a decrease after one year.
