Abstract
ALCOHOL ABUSE IS BOTH A VERY PREVALEN T AND ILL -TREATED HEALTH PROBLEM. WE PROSPECTIVELY ANALYZED THE SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS AND PARACLINICAL DATA AND APPLIED QUESTIONNAIRES IN A GROUP OF PATIENTS ADDMITED IN A PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC WITH MENTAL AND BEHAVIOURAL DISORDERS DUE TO USE OF ALCOH OL. THE GOAL WAS TO CREATE A SOCIO -DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF A CHRONIC AND ABUSIVE ALCOHOL USER AND TO COMPARE THE METHODS OF DETECTING ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION. BIOLOGICAL MARKERS TAKEN ALONE ARE NO R SO SPECIFIC , NOR SO SENSITIVE, BUT ASSOCIAT ED WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH THE QUESTIONNAIRES COMPLETED BY THE PATIENTS DURING HOSPITALIZATION, WE CAN HIGHLIGHT THE PROBLEM OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION REGARDING AL COHOL INTAKE, POTENTIAL DEPENDENCE ON ALCOHOL AND EXPERIENCE OF ALCOHOL -RELATED HARM AND BUILD AN I NDIVIDUAL PATTER N OF USE SO WE CAN KNOW HOW TO MANAGE EACH CASE AND START THE NEXT STEPS IN ASSESSING LIVER FUNCTION.
