Abstract

Subjects and methods, Forty five men aging 18-45 years old were divided into three groups. Control group individuals were not suffering from dependencies. Group I and Group II, were suffering from alcohol and heroin dependenc respectively. Biochemical and hematological studies were performed before starting this trials. Results, there was high significant increase in the value of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin and uric acid in all patients in comprison to the control group. It was found that cholesterol increased in group I and decreased in group II while blood urea decreased in group I and increased in group II. Calcium and potssium decreased in both groups I and II. The increase of fasting blood sugar and creatinine in group II was highly significant while it was non significant in group I. There was high significant increase in eosinophils percentage and prothrombin time and decrease in total leucocytic count: percentage of lymphocytes, hematocrite value and hemoglobin in all patients in comparison to the controls.
