AimsAlcoholic ketosis and ketoacidosis are metabolic abnormalities often diagnosed in alcoholics in emergency departments. We attempted to identify determinants or factors associated with alcoholic ketosis.MethodsThe subjects of this cross-sectional survey were 1588 Japanese alcoholic men (≥40 years) who came to an addiction center within 14 days of their last drink.ResultsThe results of the dipstick urinalyses revealed a prevalence of ketosis of 34.0% (±, 21.5%; +, 8.9%; and 2+/3+; 3.6%) in the alcoholics. Higher urine ketone levels were associated with higher serum total bilirubin, aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase levels. A multivariate analysis by the proportional odds model showed that the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for an increase in ketosis by one category was 0.94 (0.84–1.06) per 10-year increase in age, 0.93 (0.89–0.97) per 1-day increase in interval since the last drink, 1.78 (1.41–2.26) in the presence of slow-metabolizing alcohol dehydrogenase-1B (ADH1B*1/*1), 1.61 (1.10–2.36) and 1.30 (1.03–1.65) when the beverage of choice was whiskey and shochu, respectively (distilled no-carbohydrate beverages vs. the other beverages), 2.05 (1.27–3.32) in the presence of hypoglycemia <80 mg/dl, 0.91 (0.88–0.94) per 1-kg/m2increase in body mass index (BMI), 1.09 (1.00–1.18) per +10 cigarettes smoked, and 2.78 (2.05–3.75) when the serum total bilirubin level was ≥2.0 mg/dl, and 1.97 (1.47–2.66) when the serum AST level was ≥200 IU/l.ConclusionKetosis was a very common complication and frequently accompanied by alcoholic liver injury in our Japanese male alcoholic population, in whichADH1B*1/*1genotype, consumption of whiskey or shochu, hypoglycemia, lower BMI and smoking were significant determinants of the development of ketosis.
