  • Title: [Alcoholic hepatopathy, deficiency pathology and serum transaminases. Presentation of 2 clinical cases].
    Author: Borghi E, Melocchi F, Schembri S, Giomi N, Cantini R, Vecce R, Maurini V, Carnicelli A.
    Journal: Recenti Prog Med; 1991 Jun; 82(6):331-3. PubMed ID: 1924989.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe two cases of Vit B1 and B6 deficiency in alcoholics with malnutrition. In the first case serum levels of AST and ALT, initially below norm became higher after Vit B1 and Vit B6 intake; the second, with AST and ALT above norm in previous months, had AST and ALT with normal activity during the disease. The authors suggest that normal activity of AST and ALT during alcoholic hepatopathy could be related to a depletion of Vit B1 and Vit B6.
