The aim of this study was to correlate biochemical and neurophysiological findings and investigate possible biomarkers and risk factors for pathogenetic mechanisms of neuropathy in patients diagnosed with alcohol use disorder (AUD).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Ninety patients diagnosed with AUD were enrolled in this prospective study over a period of 3 years. Serum biochemical parameters, as well as thiamine blood levels, were determined upon admission. Every subject was assessed by clinical neurological examination, followed by Nerve Conduction Studies, Quantitative Sensory Testing, and Sympathetic Skin Response. Fifty age and gender-matched patients without a diagnosis of AUD were used as the control group.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Peripheral neuropathy was diagnosed in 54 patients (60%). Among them, pure large fiber neuropathy was found in 18 patients, pure small fiber neuropathy in 12 patients, and both large and small fiber neuropathy was diagnosed in 24 patients. Elevated liver enzymes and fasting glucose levels upon admission were significantly correlated with neuropathy. Lower blood thiamine levels (than reference) were found in seven patients and were not correlated with neuropathy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our study suggests that alcohol-related liver dysfunction and hyperglycemia may contribute as risk factors of peripheral neuropathy in patients diagnosed with AUD, while blood thiamine levels do not correlate with neuropathy. Moreover, we suggest that liver enzymes and the De Ritis ratio could be potentially used as biomarkers for the incidence and severity of alcohol-related neuropathy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/alcalc\/agae011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,12]],"date-time":"2024-03-12T09:45:54Z","timestamp":1710236754000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Elevated liver enzymes and fasting glucose levels correlate with neuropathy in patients diagnosed with alcohol use disorder independently of the blood thiamine levels"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3726-4312","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michail","family":"Papantoniou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical Neurophysiology , First Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"},{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens , First Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Zampelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical Neurophysiology , First Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"},{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens , First Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Panagiotis","family":"Kokotis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical Neurophysiology , First Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"},{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens , First Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elias","family":"Tzavellas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Psychiatry , School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"},{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens , School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Paparrigopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Psychiatry , School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"},{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens , School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stylianos","family":"Chatzipanagiotou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Microbiology , Aeginition Hospital, , Athens 11528 , Greece"},{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens , Aeginition Hospital, , Athens 11528 , Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chrysoula","family":"Nikolaou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Microbiology , Aeginition Hospital, , Athens 11528 , Greece"},{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens , Aeginition Hospital, , Athens 11528 , Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michail","family":"Rentzos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Neurology , School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"},{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens , School of Medicine, , Athens 11528 , Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024031209444889300_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM-5","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"2013","edition":"5th"},{"key":"2024031209444889300_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.880020208","article-title":"Animal models of alcoholic neuropathy: morphologic, electrophysiologic, and biochemical findings","volume":"2","author":"Bosch","year":"1979","journal-title":"Muscle Nerve"},{"key":"2024031209444889300_ref3","first-page":"117","article-title":"The de ritis ratio: the test of time","volume":"34","author":"Botros","year":"2013","journal-title":"Clin.
