    Abstract:
    50 patients, driving motor-cars, having increased blood alcohol levels, were registrated and prosecuted. They voluntary underwent catamnestic researches for early diagnosis of alcohol induced lesions of the pancreas. In relation to the habitual drinking systems the study concluded 28 (56 per cent) healthy persons, 13 (26 per cent) alcohol endangered cases, 9 (18 per cent) alcoholics. Various biochemical parameters were changed, liver histomorphology resulted in about 50 per cent of cases a fatty degeneration of the liver and hepatitis. Special diagnostic methods (CCK-test, ERCP, ultrasound echography, computer-tomography) submitted in 24 per cent of cases suspect of alcohol induced pancreatitis. Results, which promote alcoholic pancreatic damage, are being discussed.
