lüll Naltrexone for the management of alcohol dependence Anton RFN Engl J Med 2008[Aug]; 359 (7): 715-21A 44-year-old businessman with a history of hypertension presents for evaluation with a report of being under stress at work and home, which has led to "unsatisfactory" sleep. Although there is some despondency, screening for depression is negative. His blood pressure is 158/98 mm Hg. Laboratory results include a mean corpuscular volume of 102 fl (normal range, 80 to 100), an alanine aminotransferase level of 60 U per liter (normal range, 7 to 41), an aspartate aminotransferase level of 45 U per liter (normal range, 12 to 38), and a gamma-glutamyltransferase level of 110 U per liter (normal range, 9 to 58). His physician asks about alcohol consumption, and the patient admits that perhaps he drinks "more than he should," since he often wakes up with a hang-over and arrives late to work. After weekend golf outings, he comes home intoxicated, leading to arguments with his wife and embarrassment in front of his children. He has been quietly wondering about the need to cut down or stop drinking and wants some advice. His physician discusses medication or a referral to an alcohol clinic for further evaluation.
