Abstract

Objective: To analyze the relationship between certain hematological and biochemical blood indices and clinical characteristics in patients with chronic alcoholism. Subjects and methods: The study analyzed the relationship between hematological and biochemical indices with attention, memory characteristics, and psychotic symptoms in 91 patients with chronic alcoholism. Results: Patients with increased blood NH3 levels exhibited more hallucinations compared to those with normal NH3 levels. Patients with increased total bilirubin levels in the blood showed reduced clinical attention compared to those with normal bilirubin levels. No relationship was found between other indices and clinical characteristics in patients with chronic alcoholism. Conclusion: The study indicates a relationship between NH3 levels and hallucinations, as well as total bilirubin levels and attention in patients with chronic alcoholism.
