Abstract

Alcohol abuse is one of the possible etiological factors in the onset of acute cerebrovascular accidents. The fact of alcohol dependence can be established by using special questionnaires, but there is a more reliable method: a blood test for the presence of gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma-HT), which is a marker of alcohol consumption.
