RESUMEN
El diagnóstico de alcoholismo es de gran importancia, dada su alta prevalencia y la posibilidad de influir sobre el curso de la enfermedad. Para este propósito son útiles los llamados marcadores biológicos del alcoholismo parámetros analíticos que se alteran en presencia de un consumo excesivo de alcohol. Los dos marcadores más relevantes son la enzima gammaglutamiltranspeptidasa y la transferrina deficiente en carbohidratos. Con este comentario clínico pretendemos contribuir al conocimiento de estas pruebas y fomentar su uso en la práctica clínica (AU)
ABSTRACT
Diagnosis of alcoholism is very important, given its high prevalence and possibility of influencing the disease course. For this reason, the so-called biological markers of alcoholism are useful. These are analytic parameters that alter in the presence of excessive alcohol consumption. The two most relevant markers are the gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase and carbohydrate deficient transferrin. With this clinical comment, we aim to contribute to the knowledge of these tests and promote its use in the clinical practice (AU)
