| Resumen |
In order to investigate the effect of alcohol intake on erythrocyte δ-aminolaevulinic acid dehydratase (ALA-D) activity, serum alcohol concentration and ALA-D activity were determined in 4 groups of patients: chronic active and inactive alcoholics, chronic alcoholics and non-alcoholics with liver cirrhosis. It appears that patients with liver cirrhosis may accumulate lead at an increased rate and that alcohol intake may cause release of lead from the liver into the blood and thereby depress ALA-D activity. Persons with chronic liver disease therefore constitute a special risk group with respect to subclinical lead poisoning, and the determination of ALA-D as an indicator for lead exposure might be falsified. |
