Gamma-glutamyltransferase and alcoholic hepatic disease.
Andrade, P; Rocha, M L; Sofia, C; Pragana, M L; Oliveira, M R; Portela, F; Monteiro, GAccepting the principle that Gama-gt values are elevated in alcoholic patients, the authors attempted to find out if that enzyme might be helpful in distinguishing alcoholics with or without hepatic morphologic lesion. 110 alcoholic patients with and 57 without histologically proved hepatic lesion were studied. The authors conclude that a single determination of Gama-gt lacks specificity to detect, among the al...
Coexistence of hepatic and pancreatic disease in the chronic alcoholic. Unusual...
Sofia, C; Cadime, A; Cotrim, I; Souto, P; Freitas, D; Monteiro, GIn all that has been written there is still some controversy about the importance of the simultaneous pathologycal involvement (functional and/or morphologic) of the pancreas and liver on the same alcoholic patient. Thus, and with the intention of reaching an agreement on the matter, we studied on one hand, on a functional basis, the exocrine pancreas in a group of alcoholic cirrhotics (n = 75) and, on the othe...
Value of ascitic lipids and sero-ascitic gradient of albumin in the differentia...
Cabral, J E; Leitão, M C; Guerra, C; Tomé, L; Pinto, M L; Costa, D; Monteiro, GIn order to compare its diagnostic value in the differentiation between malignant and hepatic ascites, we analysed the ascitic fluid concentrations of cholesterol (Ct) and triglycerides (Tg) and the serum-ascites albumin gradient (S-A alb grad) in 58 patients--forty one with chronic liver disease (CLD) and 17 with malignancy. In CLD group the mean values +/- SD for Ct (27.1 +/- 20.1 mg/dl), Tg (34.2 +/- 33.8 mg...
