Overview
Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is majorly a clinical and echocardiographic diagnosis. There are no pathognomonic laboratory findings diagnostic of this disorder.
Laboratory Findings
No laboratory test/finding is diagnostic of alcoholic cardiomyopathy. However, common laboratory findings include:
- Elevated mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCHC) [1]
- Mild thrombocytopenia
- Elevated LDH, AST, ALT, creatine kinase, malic dehydrogenase and alpha-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase
- Elevated gammaglutamyl transpeptidase
- Serum concentrations of magnesium and zinc may be reduced
