摘要：

Seven years ago the authors examined 64 consecutive female out-patients with macrocytosis (erythrocyte mean cell volume greater than or equal to 100 fl). The cause remained undetermined in 23 (35.9%). Their patient histories were evaluated in 1992, and the new highly specific alcohol marker, serum carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, from the frozen sera taken during the initial study was examined. It was elevated in 6 of the 23 women. Furthermore, four of these six had visited the health centre after 1985 and they all had clinical records indicative of alcohol problems. Because early intervention has proved to be effective. information about the risks of alcohol abuse (intervention) should be given to women with suspect alcohol-induced symptoms or signs.
