Gamma-Glutamyltranspeptidase activity of patients having an ascitic cirrhosis due to ethanol consumption is high (139 mU/ml) when the patient is still drinking at the time of the assay; it is lower when the patient had stopped drinking at least two months before the assay (49 mU/ml). On the other hand, in 10 patients out of the 11 who submitted to a second assay gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase decreases as soon as the patient abstains from alcohol. In 4 abstinent patients re-examined one year after the first measurement, the gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase activity had decreased to the reference values of Szasz. The half time of the return to normal has been estimated by extrapolation from the ethylic model at between 11 and 54 days. We conclude that the hyper gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase in cirrhotics is due to the ethanol impregnation and that repeated assays of the enzyme show whether the patient abstains from alcohol or not.
