Fourty-six were chronic alcoholics with (30) or without (16) obvious alcoholic liver disease; 28 were nonalcoholic controls among whom 14 had acute or chronic viral hepatitis, the remaining 14 being healthy individuals. Mean mAST activity was much higher in all the alcoholic subjects, with or without liver disease, 10.4 and 1.95 units per liter, respectively, than in the healthy controls (0.43, p &lt; 0.001). The mean mAST to total AST ratio was similar in the healthy controls and in the patients with viral hepatitis (2.98 and 3.19%, NS), whereas it was about 4 times higher in the alcoholics with a sensitivity which reached 93% in the patients with alcoholic liver disease and 100% in those without. Both -\u03b3-glutamyl transpeptidase and glutamate dehydrogenase serum activities were far less sensitive and specific. As almost all chronic alcoholics had similar abnormal values of mAST\/total AST ratio, this leads to question whether \u201cnormal\u201d liver may really exist in any of such subjects.<\/jats:p>\n
