Coagulation factors and other plasma proteins during abstinence after heavy alcohol consumption in chronic alcoholics. 1977

S Wallerstedt, and G Cederblad, and K Korsan-Bengtsen, and R Olsson

Coagulation factors and other plasma proteins were studied in 19 male chronic alcoholics during the first abstinence week after a period of heavy alcohol consumption. In spite of a decade of chronic alcoholism and a daily alcohol consumption before admission of more than twice the 'normal' alcohol-metabolizing capacity, the data indicated a well-preserved protein-synthesizing capacity. In fact, the mean levels of some liver-synthesized proteins were above the upper reference limits. Minor changes within the reference ranges during the abstinence suggested a declining acute inflammatory reaction after cessation of intoxication.
