Abstract Background: Alcohol‐related liver diseases affect the capability of the liver for the synthesis of proteins including enzymes. Among enzymes two expose the liver specific isoenzymes. There are lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase. The purpose of this study was to explore the profile of lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes in alcoholic liver diseases.Methods: The serum profile of lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes was studied in alcoholic cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis by electrophoresis method on agarose gel.Results: The relative concentration of LDH 1 isoenzyme is decreased in alcoholic hepatitis, but LDH 4 and LDH 5 isoenzymes are increased. In addition, the relative level of LDH 5 isoenzyme is increased in alcoholic cirrhosis. The concentrations of intermediate isoenzymes (LDH 2 and LDH 3) are reduced in alcoholic cirrhosis. There were also an increase of liver ALP isoenzyme and parallel decrease in its bone isoenzyme in alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis. The severity of liver cirrhosis, expressed as a Child-Pugh score, didn’t affect total activity of both enzymes but effects the relative concentration of LDH 2, LDH 3 and LDH 4 isoenzymes.Conclusions: The serum profile of lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes alters in alcoholic liver diseases and differs between them. The differences can be explained by the tissue prevalence and metabolic preferences of isoenzymes.
