  • Title: [Erythrocyte changes during alcoholism and chronic liver diseases].
    Author: Triolo L, Magris D, Mian G, D'Agnolo B.
    Journal: Arch Sci Med (Torino); 1978; 135(4):477-83. PubMed ID: 756712.
    Abstract:
    50 patients with chronic liver disease and/or alcoholism were studied. 28 cases of anemia were found and macrocytes (and target m.), spurr-cells, spherocytes and stomatocytes observed. For each of these abnormalities the authors report the observed incidence and discuss the literature's data about the pathogenesis. A personal research on the influence of the liver's impaired capability of protein synthesis was also carried out. The usefulness of a careful examination of the blood film is finally stressed, in patients with liver disease and to discover alcoholic subjects still "healthy".
