Abstract
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is the most extreme form of unhealthy alcohol use. It is associated with liver-related problems, among other alterations. A study carried out by the Addiction Unit of the Internal Medicine service of the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital with patients from this and Bellvitge, proposes to reach a correlation of indications in order to act before the disease worsens. It has been considered important to analize the CD163 and sCD14 proteins, markers for activation and monocyte behavior and the IL-6, responsible of the inflammation of the body, due to alcohol intake, because both of them are linked to the observed perturbations.
