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)
- Mild thrombocytopenia
- Elevated LDH
- Elevated gammaglutamyl transpeptidase
- Serum concentrations of magnesium and zinc may be reduced
