Sažetak
The authors in this study lay out a relatively new approach to the diagnostics of alcoholism. Measuring the biological markers of this disease is a usefuk extension of the standrad clinical examination and a promising method for improving prevention. Studies about markers of alcoholism provide a new, quantitative and exact way of diagnosing alcoholism, by means of determining the "state markers", which include markers of the cerebral process of dependency development and markers of acute and chronic intoxication by alcohol, and by means of determining the "traiit markers" which suggest the disposition for the development of alcohol disease. The authors believe that measuring the biological markers is a promising new approach that should improve the diagnostics and prevention of alcoholism.
