To evaluate the nutritional status and alcohol-related or other hepatocellular injury, laboratory tests for serum, pre-albumin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyltransferase were obtained within three days of each MR scan. The values of these variables in the liver and the white blood cell counts were not significantly different between the groups. Table 1 shows demographics, alcohol consumption and select blood variables for LD, ALC and PSU.
