Riboflavin deficiency in complicated chronic alcoholism

William S. Rosenthal M.D.1, Nabeel F. Adham M.D.1, Rafael Lopez M.D.1, and Jack M. Cooperman Ph.D.1

Riboflavin deficiency was found in 11 of 22 alcoholic patients who required hospitalization for a number of complicating illnesses. The evidence of this deficiency was provided by increased erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity following in vitro addition to erythrocyte hemolysates of flavin adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme form of riboflavin. The biochemical abnormality, which was not accompanied by the classical physical findings of riboflavin deficiency, was corrected within 2 to 7 days by riboflavin administration. This sensitive and easily performed test can be used to evaluate previously unsuspected riboflavin deficiency in a variety of clinical conditions.
