Background/Aims: Carbohydrate deficient transferrin has been introduced as a marker of excessive alcohol intake, The present study was undertaken in order to measure the circulating level of carbohydrate deficient transferrin in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and to assess arteriovenous kinetics of carbohydrate deficient transferrin in liver and kidney.Methods/Results: The median value of serum carbohydrate deficient transferrin was 16.0 U/l in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis (n=41), and this value was not significantly different from that of a normal control group (median 17.4 U/l, n=55, ns), Carbohydrate deficient transferrin was significantly higher in patients with cirrhosis and high current alcohol intake than in abstaining patients (20 vs. 14 U/l, p50 g/day) had a significantly higher carbohydrate deficient transferrin concentration than controls with a low alcohol intake (
